Meet the team

Mike Gutierrez

Started his career in design and manufacturing, and later switched to multi-family residential construction where he began his new career as an assistant superintendent for a general contractor (GC). Mike soon learned that his passion was in safety and has spent the last 18 years learning at Georgia Tech OSHA Training Institute, and from other safety professionals. For the last 16 years has been the Safety Director for Gables Residential, the same GC where he started as an assistant superintendent 20+ years ago and where he first started building multi-family communities in almost every type of building construction; from mid to high-rise, in wood, steel, tunnel form, and concrete. Having that construction management background brings a different valuable perspective to any safety professional and is well worth it. Mike has a knack for solving unique safety issues, or simply designing a new safety product when necessary. He Is is a US Patent holder and took the Hands-On Safety Training Mobile Demo and Learning Center from concept, through design, to reality. 

Alexa Simonovis

Studied Instructional Design and later received a degree from Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) and spent many years educating children with passion and care. Alexa’s dedication to design/perfectionism and her experience in Montessori teaching methods and philosophy brings a new breath of fresh air to OSHA training. Alexa, along with Mike are crafting a new Hands-On teaching method to better educate our work force.
