This year marks HEA's 25th Anniversary! To celebrate, we're sharing some insights from Founder and Senior Partner, Michael C. English.

What do you see as some of the biggest accomplishments since HEA’s start in 1995?
I look at the important projects that were successfully completed, the high caliber people that HEA developed but most of all an industry that was shaped due to my influence.

The US has experienced major shifts—politically, economically, culturally—over the last 25 years and, throughout, HEA has continued to increase its impact. What has made your approach effective over the years?
What HEA does cannot be done behind a desk. Most service providers don’t want to take the next or extra steps. For HEA, and for me personally, taking that extra step, getting your hands dirty and solving real problems, is what sets us apart.
