Micah was raised in Upstate New York and joined the military in 2003, later becoming a US Navy SEAL and paramilitary contractor. He is the founder and CEO of Montana-based nonprofit Heroes and Horses and is known for the execution of ideas that change people’s lives through action, inspiration and the shifting of beliefs. Micah is an innovator and communicator in every sense of the word. When he was a young boy, Micah’s father told him that the key to success was to “look at what everyone else is doing, and do the exact opposite,” and Micah has lived that advice to a T. Micah started Heroes and Horses in 2014 after realizing that, despite the thousands of PTSD-related nonprofits and the billions spent every year, the statistics on veteran suicide and addiction were growing rapidly. In response to these staggering statistics, Micah created a veteran nonprofit with programming that was unlike anything else out there. His work with veterans has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Men’s Journal, Tedx, YETI’s One Eighty Out and numerous other national media outlets.
We are not defined by our many scars, but by what we do after the wounds close.

On January 3, 2017, Heroes and Horses—a Montana-based nonprofit organization—embarked on the first stage of integrating 16 wild mustangs into their 40-day re-integration program for combat veterans. The Heroes and Horses veteran staff, crew, volunteers and friends headed to Burns, Oregon, where Heroes and Horses adopted 16 wild mustangs from the holding facility at the Oregon BLM.
Their goal was to put these mustangs through a rigorous gentling process from January to March. They would depart on a 560-mile pack trip with the wild horses through some of the most unforgiving landscape in New Mexico and Arizona in hopes of being able to integrate them into the current Heroes and Horses herd and utilize them in the 2017 Heroes and Horses veteran program, which began in June 2017. This is the true story of the unpurposed horse and the unpurposed human being and how purpose allows people and horses to overcome their external circumstances.
