Top SchoolMichael Benner is an engineering manager with 16 years of hands-on experience building and operating web applications, databases, and cloud infrastructure, currently leading engineering at Bloom Growth™ from Prescott, AZ.

Quietly entrepreneurial, he often blends consultancy, product work, and hands-on implementation to drive measurable business outcomes.
