User:Michael "Mike" Byrne

Canadian and proud of it. I have been living in the US since 1987. Proud to be living and working in this great Country! The son of John and Elizabeth Byrne. My “Dad” passed away too young, and I miss him. My “Mom” I owe so much too and love dearly. Yes, I am a Mamma’s boy. My only sibling, Brenda and her family live in Canada. Love them dearly!

Most admired person is… my Grandmother (Sorry #99). An incredible family! - Tracey my Wife, since 1990. She’s the heart, soul and foundation of the family. Madelyn (1999) and Sean (2003), my gifted and special children. I am blessed in many ways. A product of growing up in Toronto Canada, close to the big city with plenty to do, great friends and a solid family. A Masters Degree, several Executive MBA classes and a highly ranked Academic undergraduate school, compares little to the school of life’s lessons and the trials and errors of Entrepreneurship. A self-taught businessman. Without any doubt, I can say, lessons learned by failing far surpass those learned by success.

I am an Entrepreneur and have been since my paper route and tennis racquet stringing business. Awesome business partners. Yes, you can mix business and friendship. Friends, who are among the most important things in my life. You know who you are. A man who wishes for more time, more sleep and more? I am working to figure out what that last “more” is. I love to share my experiences as an Entrepreneur, as CEO of IVRTechGroup, as a person with new ideas, services and opportunity in the fastest changing industry of Communications. IVR/Interactive Voice Response, VoIP, Text Messaging and Mobile Marketing, are just a few of my business interests.

It's a cliche, but, I say it daily.... nothing is easy.

LYLAB!
