Michael Klepacz Bio:





Born and raised in the heart of Toledo,
Ohio, Michael roots lie within a small Polish
community, where my blue-collar upbringing and humble beginnings
instilled in me the values of hard work and honest living. His
parents, who tirelessly juggled multiple jobs, demonstrated that
perseverance could provide a comfortable life. While their
aspirations remained modest, he developed a vision for a greater
future for his wife and our vivacious 3-year-old daughter.





Michael’s passion for learning and exploration was ignited
when he joined the Air Force at 18, after completing Aviation
Maintenance school. Though he didn’t get to see the world as he
had hoped, his experience in an MLM taught him to embrace
learning, fueling my curiosity for life. Though he was medically
discharged from the Air Force due to injury that did not stop my
ambitions in the Air Force before leaving. Michael had the
privilege to be trained in Six Sigma by the Toyota Corporation.
Project/process management at that moment became a life
interest.


Post-Air Force, a gap year turned into an unexpected
adventure, as he became a lifeguard supervisor at a renowned
amusement park and later found myself teaching English in Poland.
His journey overseas transformed his perspective on health and
well-being, as he became increasingly fascinated by soil health,
sustainability, and agriculture. His newfound passion for
sustainable agriculture led him
to Permaculture. This completely changed his
life and the way he viewed the world. Being in line with nature
was now his life mission.


Upon returning to the US, he delved into college textbooks
and podcasts while working as a security guard. An acceptance
into UCLA’s Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with
Disabilities redefined his life’s trajectory and invigorated his
entrepreneurial spirit. This led to pursuing a business degree at
a top Financial Times-ranked business school in Poland. While at
university he saved up my tuition money and founded Natural
Materials Unlimited, a company specializing in designing and
manufacturing eco-friendly textile products for clients seeking
custom solutions.
