Michael Tooker has spent the bulk of his adult career in the competitive world of corporate America. He’s seen firsthand the cause/effect between the kind of culture a company creates and the impact it has – either good or bad – on employee contentment, customer satisfaction and the company’s bottom line. After 25 years, he recently moved from a corner office to a member of the clergy in one of the largest, most vibrant churches in America. Regardless of where he works, it’s clear to him that a culture of grace makes all the difference. He holds an undergraduate business degree from the University of Texas and an MBA from Arizona State University. Michael likes to slip on hiking shoes or snap on snow skis and loves it when he has a plane ticket to someplace he’s never been before. He and his wife, Christine, live in Scottsdale, Arizona and have two adult sons.
