When Michael Cunningham was a student at the University of Massachusetts, he was a key member of the wrestling team which was beating Harvard University in an important match. A chant went up from the crowd: “You may beat us today, but you’ll work for us tomorrow.” At that moment, Michael was determined to have his own business.

After college, he sold financial printing services, and in 1989, he started his own printing company—CGII-- which went public in 1998 after it grew to 1,700 employees and revenues of approximately $185 million. The company was sold for $135 million to Automatic Data Processing Corp. in 2000, and then Michael completed his Ph.D. in culture and communications at New York University. He now teaches at San Diego State University.
