Fellow:Michael Brummett
Michael Brummett- who goes by Mike- was a University Innovation Fellow from the founding 2015 cohort at Rockhurst University. Following his Junior year at Rockhurst in Kansas City, Missouri, Mike took an indefinite leave of absence from school to pursue his startup company full-time. This leave was inspired after closing an $18,000 city contract with Grandview, Missouri, to outfit their public works vehicles with sensors that identified road defects such as potholes, longitudinal cracking, and overall pavement ratings with computer vision.
Ever since, Mike has remained very active in the startup world as an advisor, Head of Product, PM and co-founder for nearly a dozen new software and hardware launches, from automotive marketplaces to EdTech, LegalTech and IT asset management.
In his free time, Mike plays piano, builds home automation tools, sits in on Dungeons & Dragons games and reviews bbq restaraunts in the Kansas City metro.
Some of Mike's favorite quotes include:
- "The truth is rarely pure, and never simple." -Oscar Wilde
- "Be ashamed to die... Until you have scored some victory for humanity." -Horrace Mann (via Neil deGrasse Tyson)
