About Michael
After graduating from The University of Rhode Island in 1968, I was commissioned an Army Lieutenant and served during the Viet Nam war. My 37 year primary business career was in the life insurance industry and in retirement I created Arena Advisors, LLC a company that advises and mentors the owners of larger privately owned businesses. We also help them obtain working capital and refinance their short term debt with more permanent financing. I would love to help fellow Veterans as they transition back into civilian society. There was no help available when I did it in 1970.
