About the Learning Experience

Mike Macchioni
President, Chief Cook & Bottle Washer

In 1994, I left the comfort of a "real" job to form my own technology and human resource consulting firm called The Learning Experience. In the past few years, my work has focused on providing information technology services including PC training and consulting and, more recently, web design.

As a lecturer and professional speaker, I have presented seminars on customer service and other human resource topics to literally thousands of people throughout the U.S. and Canada. My audiences represented hundreds of business, educational, government and non-profit organizations from the U.S., Canada, Europe and Scandanavia (and one Russian).

Formalized education included graduating from Harrisburg Area Community College and attending Pennsylvania State University, where my superior talent and intellect allowed me to excel at mediocrity (hey, I'm being funny here!). My favorite subjects, not surprisingly, included theater and speech.

As a student (and very proud alumnus) of the Milton Hershey School for orphan boys, I worked on a farm milking cows and doing other farm stuff. During these formative years, I slung incredibly large amounts of manure which prepared me well for my current occupation of consultant, entrepreneur and trainer.

Living a close smelling distance from the Hershey Chocolate factory in Hershey, Pennsylvania, my days are kept full as a full-time single dad to two teen boys and a kitty named Molly. My beautiful daughter Lisa lives in Philadelphia.

As for my time at the Milton Hershey School--my home away from home--I will never be able to repay the kindness, caring and love shown to me by the teachers, houseparents and administrators. You all know who you are. Thank you.
