Dennis McDavid has been with the Berkley School District since he was hired in 2005 as an English teacher at Berkley High School. He joined the Berkley School District after a successful 13 year career in the private sector in which he held positions of increasing responsibility with GMAC, Chevrolet and OnStar. His last position before leaving OnStar was leading a team in selling OnStar services to European automobile manufacturers. At that time,he returned to college to earn his teaching credentials and taught for a short time at Phoenix North High School in Phoenix, Arizona, before working for Berkley Schools.While teaching in the BHS English Department, Mr. McDavid was recognized as Berkley's nominee to the Oakland County "Teacher of the Year" program. In 2007,he was asked to assume the duties of Principal at Berkley High School. Although rare for a teacher to move directly from the classroom to the leadership position of a well-regarded comprehensive high school, it was felt that the skills and experiences of building and leading teams in the private sector would translate well to leading a high school. During his time as Principal at Berkley High School student achievement scores improved, the Professional Learning Communities model (already in place) was enhanced and several academic initiatives were introduced.In the fall of 2009,McDavid assumed the duties of Director of Schools and Human Resources for the Berkley School District. In that role he was responsible for the day to day operations of the schools, working with each school's leadership team and handling and improving all of the human resources functions of the district for all employees. He served on contract negotiating teams, employee and student discipline hearings, and hiring committees. In March of 2012, the Berkley School Board named Mr. McDavid Superintendent of the Berkley School District beginning July, 2012. The focus of Mr. McDavid's work as Superintendenthas been improving outcomes for all students by attracting and retaining only the best teachers and administrators. The District has established partnerships with over three dozen private and parochial schools. Valuable partnerships have been established with organizations like Equal OpportunitySchools and Dollars for Scholars as well as local businesses and municipalities. The Berkley Education Foundation has focused on elementary enrichment for all students. Mr. McDavid has led the District through four successful ballot initiatives. In 2018, Mr. McDavid was one of four people in the nation to be named a Kennedy Center/Stephen Sondheim Inspirational Teacher.His work continues to center on how to best serve his students and his community.

At the age of 36, while battling with obesity at a weight of 336 pounds, he was told three simple words that changed his life forever. Change or die. Those three words fueled Michael, his outlook on life and his passion to drive others to do the same.

Knight built a foundation upon being the best at motivating others, and became the most sought after trainer in the Midwest. His client base includes 'The Who's Who' in Hollywood and professional sports; he's coached actors such as Chris Hemsworth, and professional and collegiate athlete such as Steve Yzerman and Kris Draper into achieving high levels of success. He's had the opportunity to train the Detroit Red Wings, and ran both Detroit Lions mini camps during the strike season of 2011. Knight has opened three Art of Strength training facilities and has given a Ted talk in Detroit with his change or die motivational speech.

Today Michael's intense passion has been redirected from caring for and rehabilitating his late Mother, to looking out for the wellbeing of each and every client who walks through his doors. If you cross paths with Mike, don't be surprised if when he introduces himself he asks you "What did you have for breakfast?", and he'll expect a great answer.

Now Michael's 6 year dream has become a reality; he's surrounded himself with like-minded, passionate, and educated individuals coming together to give you Peace of mind!
