Michael G. Harris - Owner and Founder, MBA, Certified Integrative Processing Therapist, Professional Engineer.

After 20 years of working in the energy and engineering fields, a series of dreams guided Michael G. Harris to a fuller expression of himself by revealing important aspects of an intuitive, feeling self that had long been unperceived in the shadow of his firmly entrenched rationality. In one dream, Michael sat in a book-lined study accompanied by a German engineer and an Italian Renaissance man. Sitting in a heavy, leather upholstered chair, Michael threw his head back and roared; “Now I understand!” As he said these words, the chair he was in floated up into the air. From somewhere up near the ceiling, looking down upon his two companions, Michael exclaimed, “I’m not an engineer, I’m a romantic!” Things have not been the same since.
 
In September 2005, he made the decision to start a consulting firm. Michael is committed to the principles that contributed to the vision of the firm and to those that have since emerged as he follows a path of creating a work life that honors his deepest values. These principles include the importance of working and making a difference locally, of helping other small businesses thrive, and being a channel for the implementation of projects that contribute to greater sustainability, both locally and globally.  

The firm continues to grow by focusing on important strategic themes that include fostering a culture of making a living through inspired passion, letting wisdom emerge from methodical aggregation of knowledge and the experience of doing, and offering imaginative products that provide valuable benefits to the community. As a result, Michael and Harris Management Services, LLC have established themselves as experts in the field of Total Sustainability. Michael writes and speaks from this expertise frequently.  

Michael has a Masters of Business Administration degree from the University of Connecticut and a Bachelor of Science degree from Jordan Energy Institute. He is a Certified Integrative Processing Therapist, a professional engineer, an author of three books; a children’s book, The Enlightened Crab, a novel called Deep River, and the soon to be published non-fiction work about sustainability entitled Abundance: The Journey Home.

Michael’s wife is a practicing Feng Shui practitioner who often works on projects of the firm. They have a daughter and live in East Haddam, Connecticut.
