Michael Henreckson was homeschooled all the way through high school. After graduation, he started exploring the world of traditional education and is currently seeking his Bachelor's.
Michael has a background in small business and entrepreneurship, including experience with construction, real estate and retail. These projects helped to strengthen his passion for the quadruple threat of getting things done quickly, efficiently, with a high level of quality, and a minimum of headache. Michael has found that technology has a lot to offer when it comes to improvement on all of these fronts.
When he's not working, studying or blogging, (in other words a small percentage of his time) Michael enjoys running, photography, and reading. He also likes playing with computers and technology, which is really just a sneaky way to get more work in while pretending to relax.
Michael Henreckson's blog is The Paperweight.
