About Michael Farver

Ex-print media publisher & art/design guru, amateur chef, passionate social activist, handler of championship Dobermans and licensed firearms expert. I split up the hours of my day serving as a national, state and local spokesperson and advocate for childhood hunger solutions, as a Dad, as a Husband, and when things get too intense, I travel the country following the Black Crowes. I'm President of the Board of Florida Impact, the state’s senior legislative public policy advocacy organization, direct a grassroots child hunger nonprofit in South Florida and also lead a social media consulting business. I'm into everything from modern art, tiki and pop surrealism to wine collecting to vintage guitars to all things touching, and touched by, technology. For starters.
