About Michael Halterman

I have watched the monochromatic desert in southern Afghanistan come into a vivid array of sunrise colors. I have walked through the dense forest in the rolling green hills of Kosovo in early autumn. During these moments and many more like them, I have had the privilege of leading teams of all sizes, cultures, religions, and ethnicities. For the first 20 years of my professional life, I honorably served in the United States Marine Corps as an Infantryman and Marine Raider. These experiences have taught me a deep appreciation of different cultures and points of view. I was born and raised in California in a small town on the coast. I learned the value of hard work, sports comradery, and the art of self-reliance in individual sports growing up. After graduating from a small-town high school, I was ready to see the world and live a life of service. I found a connection with the United States Marine Corps and never looked back. I find balance in my career by having a daily yoga and meditation practice, climbing, mountaineering, and running new trails in the great outdoors.
