Michael Young, Catering and Events Coordinator

Michael Young is the Catering and Events Coordinator for Halyards Catering

Michael Young began his career with Halyards Catering in 2014, gaining unparalleled experience in the food, beverage, and hospitality industries as a warehouse and logistics manager. In 2016, Michael was promoted to his current position as catering and events manager, working directly with clients to design, plan, and execute exceptional experiences.

The skills Michael now uses to plan full-scale weddings, corporate events, and private dinners—logistics, team leadership, and operations administration—are abilities he developed as a young professional athlete.

At 16, his dedication to supercross and motocross took him to the highest level of the sport. Michael had a successful racing career, competing around the world for more than ten years. In addition, he participated in the production of educational and training videos for youth riders, performed stunt work, and was featured in several magazines. After injuries resulted in an early retirement from racing personally, Michael stayed involved in the sport as a team manager for a pro team, leading staff and racers to a record-breaking season while sharpening his planning and execution capabilities.

As a professional athlete, Michael learned the value of hard work and perseverance in achieving his goals. Strategizing his own racing career and leading a pro racing team gave him tools he utilizes today in the event planning and hospitality industry.

Michael is married to Heather and is the proud father of three amazing girls—Scarlett, Missy, and Makenzie. When not working with Halyards clients, Michael enjoys spending time with his family, golfing with his father, flying his drone, and repairing iPads and iPhones.
