MIKE GILLETTE<br />

NATIONALITY: AMERICAN<br />

Mike Gillette has a life story that reads like an action-adventure novel. A life which has proven to be his own<br />

best case-study for goal attainment. He was a poor, scared and scrawny kid who grew up amidst a backdrop<br />

of extreme violence and substance abuse. A kid who would ultimately become an Army Paratrooper,<br />

SWAT Commander, Counter-Terrorism Consultant, Bodyguard to Fortune 500 CEOs and a record-breaking<br />

strongman whose feats have been documented by Guinness World Records and Ripley’s Believe it or Not.<br />

As both a practitioner and purveyor, Mike is a peak performance pioneer. At over 50 years of age, he<br />

continues to transcend his own personal limits while teaching others how to do the same.<br />
