Michael Sandler is an ADD coach in Boulder, Colorado, and the author of College Confidence with ADD (Sourcebooks, 2008).

In 2004, Michael embarked upon a journey to raise shades and bring light in to those with ADD. He'd felt he'd been sitting on the sidelines too long, watching others with ADD suffer unnecessarily, and those who could help trapped in myths, misunderstanding, and ignorance.

Having held numerous seminars and workshops while coaching others with ADD, Michael put everything aside to spread a positive message. He rode his bicycle 5000 miles across the country solo, in 40 days, talking to everyone, everywhere about the tremendous difficulties of a life with ADD, the gifts of ADD, and how to overcome adversity.

On the way he was featured in over 50 newspaper articles and over 20 television interviews. Upon arrival in Washington, DC via Portland, Oregon, he met with many prominent politicians. His message, "If I can complete such a journey, and succeed with ADD, then you can too... and here's how."
