WHAT BUSINESS PROFESSIONALS WHO HAVE WORKED WITH MICHAEL MOLLURA ARE SAYING:

“As a colleague at Music Connection, Michael Mollura worked closely with me
for 10 years to turn out the best musicians magazine there is. On top of his
day-to-day Associate Editor tasks, which he attended to professionally
without fail –– never missing a deadline –– Michael proved himself to be a
special, well-rounded individual who brought an energy to the job that was
uniquely his own. Beyond his obvious skills as a writer/editor (not to
mention his talents as a musician, film expert, and consummate never-say-die
NY Mets fan), Michael has a winning personality and is verbally gifted; I’ve
often thought he would make a terrific teacher or instructor. Whichever
avenue he chooses to pursue, the multifaceted Michael Mollura would
certainly make a distinctive contribution to any company, school or special
project.
––Mark Nardone, Senior Ed., Music Connection magazine
