Michael Bluemling Jr

Michael Bluemling, Jr. has overcome the abuse of his past to achieve a fulfilling life. After high school, he served in the United States Army, obtaining the rank of sergeant. He received the US Army Commendation Medal and two US Army Achievement Medals, the US Army Good Conduct Medal, the Kosovo Campaign Medal, and the NATO Medal. After an honorable discharge from the military, he held various positions in the US Department of Labor and at the Department of Veteran Affairs. Michael holds a bachelor of science degree in business administration from ECPI University, a master of professional studies in human resources and employment relations from Pennsylvania State University, and a graduate certificate from UMass Dartmouth in Organizational Leadership. In addition, he graduated from the Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans (EBV) program through Florida State University. The trauma of his past has led Michael to making a difference for others in the present. He was previously the founder of Power of One, a company intended to inspire people all over the world. Michael and the company were highlighted in U.S. Veterans Magazine in November 2013 and Disabled American Veterans Magazine in the July/August 2014 issues. To promote his message that each person has the power to deal with adversity and move forward, no matter the circumstances, Michael has written Turning the Page: Overcoming Abuse to Reach Life’s Fulfillment, Our Journey: Heart to Heart with God, and now Bridging the Gap from Soldier to Civilian: A Road Map to Success for Veterans. Drawing upon his own personal military experiences, Michael illustrates in the book how he created his own transition program in order for other veterans to succeed in their post-military careers. He now seeks to help others by sharing that program through his new book. To learn more about Michael Bluemling Jr. please visit: www.MichaelBluemling.com
