Micah is not just surviving—he’s thriving, all while empowering others along the way.
Born in Kansas and raised in a small town in Oklahoma, Micah faced struggles from the start & did not always make the best choices in his youth. He also endured the pain of rejection from family because of his sexuality—a challenge that could have derailed many. Instead, Micah turned this adversity into his greatest asset, using it to fuel his relentless drive for success. Through years of hard work and determination, he not only overcame these obstacles but emerged stronger, founding several businesses along the way. His first ventures, Prestige Model Management and Prestige Models, were built from the ground up, eventually leading to their sale for seven figures.
Micah is turning heads as the founder of Prestige Advertising and Auto Marketing Management. His breakthrough innovation, a patented AI platform, has transformed the marketing industry. By offering real-time data and insights, the platform enables businesses to make smarter, faster decisions, giving them a competitive edge. It’s this forward-thinking approach that sets Micah apart in a crowded industry. With a vision that’s as sharp as his business acumen, he’s positioning his agency as a leader in creative, data-driven marketing.
“Success isn’t just about making money. It’s about creating opportunities for others, lifting them up along the way,” says Micah. As a result of his entrepreneurial spirit, Micah has earned spots on prestigious lists such as Forbes, MSN’s Top Entrepreneur , US Insider, Vogue, GQ, US Business News, and Entrepreneur Daily. Aside from his impressive list of recognitions, Micah has become a go-to public speaker, known for his ability to engage and motivate aspiring entrepreneurs. “I want to show people that no matter where they start, they have the power to change their lives,” he says. His unique ability to combine business expertise with personal stories of struggle and triumph makes his advice resonate on a deeper level.
But Micah doesn’t just inspire with his words—he backs them up with action. His dedication to making a meaningful impact goes beyond business. His Campaigns for Cures initiative, launched during the COVID-19 pandemic, raised critical funds for relief efforts, showcasing his dedication to giving back when it matters most. His commitment to the LGBTQ+ community, particularly those rejected by their families, is another example of his leadership. Having faced rejection himself, Micah knows the importance of support and has been a staunch advocate for HIV awareness and counseling programs.
