Mike Cottam
Mike is married to Stephanie, one of the world’s greatest husband trainers, is called “Dad” by five terrific adult children and called “Gimpa” by nine delightful grandchildren. He and Stephanie live in beautiful Saratoga Springs, Utah and are busy with the Ep-Cottam Center (a geo-dome greenhouse), Paisley - Guardian of the Pesky Chickens, four beehives, rabbits, a worm farm and lots of stuff to do.
He is a retired public educator with experience as a music teacher, counselor and prevention specialist. He was honored with the United States Department of Education recognition for outstanding achievement in Drug and Alcohol Prevention education, the Alpine Excellence in Teaching award and the Utah State PTA Friend of Children award. He received the Merlin Goode Award for outstanding prevention work in Utah from the Utah Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health. The Utah Elementary Principals Association presented him the Friend of Education award for his continuing service to Utah’s students.
He retired as a member of the Utah Army National Guard and commander of the 23rd Army Band. He received the prestigious Utah National Guard Bronze Minuteman Award for 43 years of outstanding service to his country. He currently plays “gigs” throughout Utah on drums and vibraphones.
Mike is a popular trainer for education and business professionals. He is often humorously identified by young men as “The sex dude!” because of the engaging boy’s maturation classes he teaches to thousands of 5th and 6th grade youth. Magic, balloon art and humor frequently pepper his workshops, keynotes and trainings.
