Spencer Ingley

I had the pleasure of having Michael work as my research assistant on the BYU-Hawaii habitat restoration project. Michael was incredibly capable, creative, and innovative. He brought in a wealth of skills and abilities that accelerated the work that we were doing. Michael worked well in a diverse team environment, and we miss him and his contributions greatly.

Business Management in HR and Marketing-BYUH

Working with Michael, I observed a rare combination of efficiency and deep observation. He didn't just work fast; he improved how we worked by identifying and solving process bottlenecks that caused team fatigue. His natural inclination toward analyzing systems and solving real-world problems makes him a valuable asset to any technical team. He is a focused, consistent, and highly capable problem solver.

Lewis Hassell

Professor of Pathology at University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center

In working with Micheal when he was a volunteer in Vietnam, I found him to be a very dedicated hard worker. He managed complex issues with many types of people quite well and yet also remained focused on his core purposes. He is very even tempered and was never frustrated, despite some very challenging co-workers.

Julius Such

The former supervisor at the Polynesian Cultural Center-Hawaii

I am Julius Such, former supervisor of Michael Bui at the Polynesian Cultural Center on the Smoothie Team. During a challenging period when the position had high turnover, Michael consistently stepped up, improved our work processes, and helped make the team more efficient. He was also a great teammate who contributed to a positive work environment.

Michael was a consistently hardworking and reliable coworker who always completed tasks efficiently and to a high standard. During our time working together in Hawaii, he was patient and instructive, often taking the time to teach me tasks I was unfamiliar with and ensuring the work was done correctly. Michael not only met expectations but exceeded them, making him a valuable and dependable member of our team.
