My name is Michael Fitzgerald, Sr. and I am an opportunist entrepreneur. Anywhere I saw an opportunity, I pursued it and built a business around it. Bootstrapping and constantly adapting to the surrounding environment helped build the business. Like many people my life started simple, but as my business developed, so did I. I have overcome many life-altering obstacles, and want to share my experiences with curious individuals who want to expand their minds and learn from someone else's life journey. Taking chances, making decisions and learning from my failures have helped me start many businesses which has lead me to success. Currently, I'm teaching and educating the next generation through leadership and example. I am mentoring my son, Michael Fitzgerald, II, and together we are building a socially conscience enterprise called MyCause Water. I hope that this account of my struggles and triumphs will help you overcome the obstacles in your life and inspire you to success.
