  • Mike Melson
    M.S., CCLC
    Co-Founder Trinity Life Solutions
    Certified Christian Life Coach

    Mike's career began as he worked for NASA on the Space Shuttle project. He then became a consultant for Accenture, formerly Andersen Consulting. Next he entered the world of start-ups in the Silicon Valley and became what many in the world would label “successful”. However to Mike success meant something entirely different. Success to him meant becoming involved with his community and mentoring young people to be all that God had envisioned them to be. He decided to take a risk and quit his executive job in the software industry and instead dedicate his time and effort to coaching men of all ages on becoming the man their current and future families need them to be. His “Balance Boundaries” teaches men how to balance their priorities be it family, work, hobbies, sports, church etc.

    Mike’s passions include, serving God, spending time with his family, flying, and coaching men and teens on how to maintain balance in their lives now and in the future.
