Mike Barron's journey from a childhood in Section-8 housing to becoming a leading figure in the sales industry is a testament to the power of resilience and vision. Born to Vietnamese and Mexican parents, he experienced firsthand the challenges of growing up in a low-income community. Determined to change his circumstances, he seized control of his destiny through education, earning a degree from National University.
This educational achievement marked the beginning of his professional journey. Mike initially ventured into academic administration, quickly ascending to InterCoast College President. His tenure here was marked by significant growth for the institution and his leadership development.
With a solid foundation in strategic management, Mike transitioned into the sales industry, where he truly found his calling. His natural prowess in sales was further honed at Grant Cardone's Sales Force, where he absorbed invaluable skills and insights.

The academy offers a curriculum to transform novices into expert sales professionals who can close high-ticket deals. Under his leadership, Closer Academy has become synonymous with excellence in sales training, empowering countless individuals to achieve their professional and personal wealth targets.
