Michael McCleary

Michael McCleary is the Co-Founder & CEO of Beacon Media, LLC, a Michigan based video production and new media company which specializes in promoting individuals and organizations through multimedia outlets from TV to radio, DVD’s, the internet, print and film. Michael is also the Creator, Host & Executive Producer of the feature-length documentary, An Anything But Ordinary Journey. Michael is currently authoring a book on the individuals he has met making the film entitled, Anything But Ordinary: Ordinary People, Extraordinary Lives.

Michael attended Kettering University (formerly GMI) in Flint, Michigan for a BS in Management with dual concentrations in Information Systems and Accounting/Finance. He has a great depth of corporate experience in the financial industry where he worked in roles ranging from management trainee to a financial officer and board member. 

Michael founded Beacon Media with his good friend, Casey Turner, after experiencing a deep depression working in the corporate environment.  After much soul-searching, and realizing he didn’t want to be a prisoner to a variety of mood numbing medications, Michael realized he could change his mental approach by changing his environment.  The reason he had become depressed was not work per se, but the profound sense of not fulfilling the full purpose for his life.

 Michael is also a motivational speaker, an avid reader, enjoys classic muscle cars and various sporting activities, and can be found donating his time to his local church and other worthwhile charities. You can hear Michael from time to time as he guests on Kandee G Radio, Nothing But Good News. He currently resides in Bay Port, Michigan with his wife, Heather, and their three children.
