Michael Thomas sees things that other people don't (or won't) see. No, he's not clairvoyant and doesn't speak to unseen forces or anything like that. Michael sees things that other people don't see because he's dedicated his life to seeing the people that other people won't. Michael's work with developmentally disabled adults at My Possibilities is fueled by his passionate belief that HIPsters are deserving of more than charity, they're deserving of life skills, vocational training, and the ability to be a part of developing and deciding their own destiny and contributing to society. Curiously creative, Michael is the self-professed generalist who strives to listen to all the ideas in the room to develop the best possible solution. This synergistic approach has led him and his team to develop innovative programs including an on-campus University and they are currently developing plans for a retail complex centralized around providing opportunities and economic growth to the community these scholars will serve. Our time with Michael was hilarious, informative, and a genuinely refreshing reminder of what people, when given opportunity and belief, can accomplish.
