"Without knowing Michael, and knowing that he would be there to help me train and prepare for the expedition, I would have never accepted the invitation to climb Aconcogua. In addition to helping me get into climbing shape, he helped our team with all of our expedition planning, from assisting us select and vet our guide service and route to helping us understand medical evacuation insurance. Endeavor is an outstanding resource for expedition and adventure travel and I highly recommend them."

"Michael helped me become the trail runner I always wanted to be. His performance coaching not only helped me extend my mileage and increase my efficiency and performance, but his guidance on how to better prepare for ultra distances in remote environments gave me the confidence I needed to push for longer distances on my own. I highly recommend him!"

"We reached out to Michael to help us plan and prepare for a multi-day canoe trip. During our weekly virtual consultations, Michael helped us with the planning and logistics of our trip, gave us personal training recommendations and advice on how to better prepare for the adventure, and even made a recommended reading list for our group. He was great!"

"I wanted to build an expedition vehicle and begin taking my family overlanding, but had no experience. After years of following him on LinkedIn, I contacted Michael for guidance. From selecting the right vehicle platform to building and outfitting it the best way for our intended use, Michael guided me every step of the way. He even recommended a few courses to consider to familiarize myself with vehicle-supported expeditions and to build my skills and confidence before our first trip. Our vehicle build turned out great and our first excursion was epic. Michael and the team at Endeavor are now my go to resource when I have questions or need advice about a new adventure.."

"We worked with Michael to prepare for a group trek to Machu Picchu. His guidance was exceptional and took a lot of the worry and uncertainty out of our planning and logistics. The fitness training plans they created were spot on, and got each of us ready for the long daily treks at high altitude. Michael played a significant role in making our journey an extraordinary experience."

"An Alaskan fishing trip has always been on my bucket list. Having no idea where to start, I contacted Michael to help me source a guide service and prepare for the trip. He recommended things that I would have never thought to consider myself, from getting my annual physical to ensure I had no underlying issues before I headed into the backcountry, to communication options so I could have limited contact with my family while I was away. He gave me the peace of mind and confidence I needed to thoroughly enjoy my trip."

"Endeavor helped me train for my first half Ironman. With their guidance, support and encouragement, I was far more prepared and competitive for the event."

"Consider this your warning! I trained with Endeavor to prepare for an adventure race. Michael is exactly what you'd expect from a former special operations instructor. He is methodical, disciplined and relentless. He is also a great training partner and fun to train with. If you are training with Endeavor, be prepared to put in the work and be held accountable.

"I contacted Michael with the hope of developing a plan to pursue my goal of going on my first international diving expedition. Michael's personal training and guidance ensured I was physically and mentally prepared for my trip, and Endeavor's liaison and connections with the diving operators in Belize gave me the reassurance and confidence I needed to go on the trip alone and be
successful."

"I got invited to go caving with friends and trained with Michael to get better prepared. From the very first session I felt like I had a better grasp on my fitness and health. Michael really helped me understand the importance of functional training for adventure travel, and the importance of balancing my training with proper nutrition, hydration and rest. My trip was amazing and I am looking forward to continuing training with Michael."

"I've always wanted to learn how to rock climb but was too scared. I found Endeavor through a friend and called to ask about their training programs. On my introductory call Michael gave me the best advice anyone could have given me; "go to a rock climbing gym and fall." I loved it! I went to a gym the next day and did exactly that. Because of Michael's advice I started my training with the biggest hurdle already behind me - fear. Training with Michael has been a blast. I highly recommend training with Endeavor!

"Endeavor helped our group work through every detail of our mountaineering trip, from planning and logistics to picking a guide service. They even gave us guidance on equipment purchases and how to pack. We became so close during the process we invited Michael to join us on our expedition. Hopefully on the next one!"
- T Goodson

"We contacted Endeavor seeking guidance relating to medical support and emergency evacuations during a project we were doing near the Arctic Circle. Michael and his team provided us with all the information we needed to identify the type of medical program we required, and then connected us with a provider that could accommodate our needs. They were a wealth of knowledge and great to work with. "
