Originally hailing from New Jersey, Dr. Michael Scharff served as a decorated officer in the US Army from 1983 to 1994, ending his military career as Comptroller for a Special Ops organization. He earned his bachelor’s in Business Administration from the Citadel and went on to earn his MBA at the Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University. He earned his doctorate in Management and Organizational Leadership from the University of Phoenix in 2006, where he also won Dissertation of the Year.
Since 2006, he has been on the faculty of Limestone University, where he is a professor of Business Administration and Dean of the College of Business. He also chairs the Global Experience Committee, which allows students the opportunity to study abroad.
“It’s not surprising that people end up right back where they started because we didn’t really set them up for success… And that’s really what JUMPSTART is about—to jumpstart their success.”
Dr. Scharff has written for numerous educational publications and led academic presentations, as well as served in a number of children’s ministries. He lives in Spartanburg with his wife Deb, with whom he just celebrated thirty years of marriage, and enjoys following football—which the rest of the US calls “soccer.”
