About Michael Reese

Meet Michael Reese, a seasoned professional with over 14 years of dedicated experience in the staffing and recruitment industry. As the visionary founder of Express Employment Professionals in Corning, his journey is not just about connecting talent with opportunity; it's a story of resilience, community, and a commitment to nurturing both professional and personal growth. Michael's venture into entrepreneurship was ignited by a pivotal moment—a Reduction in Force that served as the catalyst for his ambitious venture. Rather than succumbing to setbacks, he saw an opportunity to redefine the staffing landscape with a focus on individual development and community impact. Establishing Express in 2010, Michael aimed to create more than just a staffing agency. His vision was to build a platform that not only matched talent with the right opportunities but also fostered an environment for personal and professional development. At the heart of Michael's leadership philosophy is a genuine passion for developing individuals. He takes pride in watching his team members grow, both personally and professionally. Under his guidance, Express isn't just a successful placement agency; it's a community of individuals invested in each other's success. Believing in the strength of a vibrant community, Michael actively contributes beyond the business. Having served as the Board Chair for the Chamber of Commerce twice, he is a driving force in local economic development. Additionally, he has dedicated the past nine years to coaching youth baseball, soccer, and basketball, embodying his commitment to nurturing the potential of future generations. Outside the professional sphere, he finds joy and inspiration in his family—a loving husband and father to two wonderful kids. Balancing family life with entrepreneurial pursuits, Michael lives the importance of holistic success. As Express continues to thrive under Michael's leadership, his vision extends beyond the success of the business. He envisions a future where the impact ripples through the community, where careers flourish, and individuals become the architects of their destiny. Michael is not just a business leader; he is a catalyst for positive change, an advocate for community success, and a mentor for those seeking to unlock their full potential in the professional landscape. Through Michael's journey, Express becomes not just a service provider but a community builder and an instrument for individual and collective success.
