Michael-Banks-Spotlight.jpg

1. Where were you born and raised; current city; family; hobbies; past business highlights...
Born and raised in Baltimore and I have three beautiful daughters and one awesome grandson. Love spending time with those close to me. Coached girls’ softball for the past six years, which I truly enjoyed and had great success in helping fill the gap for some families.

2. How have you grown or personally developed since joining PlanNet?
I have a better understanding of how important personal development is, not only for me but for the ones around me as well. As I have grown, I am more able to assist others or show others from my experiences that they too can make it and succeed. I understand how important it is to read to understand and implement, not just read for completion. I have become more aware that it starts with me and not someone else.

3. What drives you; what motivates you?
Being able to help others win in life drives me, as well as my family. Being able to be the evidence of what is possible motivates me.

4. Who would you consider a role model and why?
I would consider Donald Bradley a role model because I know where he comes from; I have watched his journey. I see his passion for people, always willing to help those who are first willing to help themselves. He genuinely models it, not only in business but also in his personal life as son, husband, father, friend, and most importantly a man of God.

5. The three words that describe you best are:
Genuine, Caring, Loyal.

6. If you had some sound advice to give to anyone what would it be?
Never ever take time for granted because the only time we are guaranteed is right now, and that is with all things in life.

7. What does your life look like five years from now?
In five years my life will look better awake than asleep because my reality will be better than my dreams!
