With over 30 years in the game, Mike is a top-level marketing executive who has done it all—from leading global strategy for an $8 billion corporation to serving as an Executive Producer in professional sports. Today, as the owner of The Forward Solution, he acts as a Fractional CMO and marketing head for brands that need big-picture thinking without the overhead. Whether he’s navigating the complexities of the supply chain or the creative nuances of the arts, Mike brings a "been there, done that" level of expertise to every project.

When he’s off the clock, Mike is usually chasing adventure near his home in Northeast Ohio or traveling abroad. A devoted family man married to his wife, Tammy, for 33+ years, he’s a father of two with a serious passion for photography, cycling, and boating. He’s a lover of great film and music, but on Sundays, you’ll find him loyally (and perhaps stubbornly) cheering on the Cleveland Browns.

Deanna is a marketing dynamo with 20+ years of experience and a reputation for being a "one-woman powerhouse." A true specialist in Project Management, she is a Certified Wrike Admin who knows how to build the systems that keep complex teams moving. She’s spent her career rising through the ranks from coordinator to director, managing high-profile accounts like Goodyear and Akron General Hospitals. Whether she’s deep in the transportation industry or running the entire marketing department for an international industrial provider, Deanna’s technical precision ensures no detail is ever missed.

Her energy doesn’t stop at the office. A dancer since the age of three and a part-owner of an Italian restaurant, Deanna balances a lifelong love for the arts with a sharp, entrepreneurial mind. She’s been with her husband, Chris, since 1997, and when they aren’t soaking up the sun in St. John, USVI, you can find them in the stands. A Cleveland Browns season ticket holder since 2007, Deanna brings that same "ride or die" loyalty to her clients and her community.
