Michael Doering

Michael Doering brings a wealth of education administration and leadership experience to his associate role at The Alexander Group. As a thoughtful and effective communicator, Mr. Doering excels at connecting with clients, listening to their needs, and applying that feedback to each search.

Mr. Doering earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Concordia University, Nebraska and a Master of Education degree from Concordia University, Texas.

In addition to coaching high school athletics, Mr. Doering is also a wine ambassador for Texas Hill Country wineries.

My background is in educational leadership but, I like to think of myself as a professional learner.

I have a Ted Lasso reference here, “all people are different people” and truly all searches are different searches. Our clients need curious search professionals who will listen, learn, and adapt.
