Michael Atkins is a rare Denver native, and likes to joke he hasn't left a 10 mile radius! After receiving a Bachelors and Masters degree from the University of Denver, Michael has worked at various companies as a Data Scientist, most recently with Motorola Solutions. Beyond his professional commitments, Michael is actively engaged in his community, serving on his neighborhood board and organizing initiatives to enhance and educate the surrounding area. Additionally, prior to joining the Paddington Board, Michael served as a member of the Building and Grounds Committee, helping to transform Paddington’s infrastructure. 
When not working Michael spends most of his time with his wife Katie caring for their rambunctious 4-year old, a current Paddington Student, and the family’s puppy. Michael also enjoys golfing, home improvement projects, and getting a rare moment to relax on the couch. He looks forward to continuing to contribute to this wonderful school!

As a child, my mom was an avid volunteer at my school, whether signing up as “class mom” or organizing service learning events for the community. She instilled in me that it was important as a parent not just to send your child to school, but to contribute to the community as a whole in any way that you can. That way you can make a positive impact on both your child and all of their classmates and friends. I look forward to supporting Paddington in a time of transition and to give back to a place that gives our child so much joy!
