About

Michael did his graduate work at Cornell, Rutgers, Yale, and Liberty, and he’s currently a professor of leadership at Messiah University. His three decades of research in the field has appeared in several scholarly journals and magazines, and he’s the author of more than a dozen books, including Influencing Like Jesus (LifeWay), Management by Proverbs (Moody), and most recently, Evidence for Heaven (Baker).

Professor Zigarelli is also the creator of the 9 to 5 Resource Center and YouTube channel, where millions of viewers across 130 countries have accessed his instructional videos.

One of his great passions is coaching soccer, primarily young men in college. But his greater passion is family: Michael and his wife Tara have been blessed with four children, four in-law children, and decades of marriage.
