Mike launched Assessment Associates, Inc. in 2006 to focus on what he loved most about his years at Hahn and Associates--working independently on challenging environmental assessments for a wide variety of demanding clients. Since then, he and his team have helped hundreds of clients by providing sensible environmental solutions for time-sensitive real estate transactions, producing reports that are scientifically sound, well-written, and easy to understand, with clear, concise recommendations for further investigation, if warranted.

President and Principal Geologist
Hahn and Associates
Mike cut his teeth in the environmental consulting field at the esteemed firm of Hahn and Associates in Portland. Over eleven years he conducted hundreds of environmental assessments on a wide variety of properties, eventually earning his state geologist licenses in both Oregon and Washington. In addition to his skill at research, report writing, data analysis, and soil and groundwater sampling, Mike chaired the company health and safety committee and facilitated several company health and safety annual refresher courses. His experience at Hahn and Associates and his entrepreneurial drive led Mike to launch Assessment Associates, Inc. environmental consultants in 2006.

Mr. Sun Solar
Mike joined Mr. Sun Solar as a sales associate, but quickly assumed several additional roles at the Portland alternative energy firm, including installation coordinator, troubleshooting expert, and eventually, manager of field services. Mike participated in the sale and installation of hundreds of solar heating systems in Oregon and Washington over a six-year period, leveraging tax credits and other incentives to provide the quickest return on investment possible.

During Mike's senior year at UMASS, he worked part time as a political canvasser, raising funds and building citizen involvement in several successful state and local campaigns around the issues of environmental cleanup, responsible government, clean energy, and hunger. During his final semester, he was elected chair of the UMASS MASSPIRG campus chapter and designed a 21-credit practicum/internship around the chairmanship position. During a period of resurgent reactionary campus conservatism, the chapter was successful in defeating several efforts to defund/destroy MASSPIRG's campus chapter at UMASS, and helped pass the Massachusetts Pollution Penalties Law, empowering state officials to levy fines of up to $25,000 a day against violators of anti-pollution laws. After earning a 21-credit "A" for the internship, Mike joined the Fund For Public Interest Research professional staff, directing a summer  canvass team in Los Angeles, and, later that year, reprising his role as a student organizer at two MASSPIRG campus chapters.

The Brooklyn Action Corps was Portland's first neighborhood association, formed in the late 1960s to leverage local opposition to the planned Mount Hood Freeway, which was slated to cut through residential neighborhoods just north of Brooklyn. The BAC and other nascent neighborhood groups were instrumental in stopping construction of the freeway. The BAC has continued to meet on a monthly basis over the past five decades to work on the issues of livability, safety, economic and environmental justice, and citizen empowerment. Mike chaired the BAC from 2010-2014, leading the BAC through its close involvement with the Portland-Milwaukie light rail extension, sewer fee negotiations, public safety initiatives, and several annual neighborhood events, including an Ice Cream Social, Movie in the Park, and Neighborhood Cleanup.

        Michael worked for one of my environmental contractors (Hahn and Associates) during my tenure at the City of Portland.  He understood that as a municipality, we were on a strict budget.  Michael always delivered his projects on time, under budget, and only asked for change orders when they would provide an opportunity to gain value on the project in another way.

Michael is personable, calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and respectful.  I often took the opportunity to learn from him, and he was always gracious in his lessons.
