My Story
BACKGROUND
As a retired Captain for Delta Air Lines, Michael Schilz attained his dream of becoming a pilot for a major airline. As a result of being invited to speak at many universities throughout the country about aviation careers, Michael uncovered an undeniable truth-that many of the students he encountered had given up on finding their DREAMS!
EDUCATION
Bypassing traditional higher education, Michael achieved his Bachelor's degree in Behavioral Science and Leadership from the U.S. Air Force Academy. His career path then led him to becoming a pilot for the U.S. Air Force where he also became a highly decorated aircraft commander.
SPEAKING
Combined with his personal experience, and a desire to help, he has taken to the stage with a goal of reaching as many people as possible to show them that their station in life does not dictate their path in life. Michael is a highly sought after speaker because of his ability to relate to students and inspire them to go from an "I Can't", to an “I Can ” attitude using pragmatic and inspirational tools that can be applied immediately.
