Mikhail is Beyond Walls’ executive director beginning his leadership role in November 2024. Before this role, Mikhail worked nine years at the Boston program, SquashBusters, sharing a similar mission of education enrichment and racquet sport development. SquashBusters was formed in 1995 as the first squash-connected youth development program. Mikhail worked most recently as the program director for this program, which serves over 100 students annually. Mikhail was a student at SquashBusters in middle and high school before attending and graduating from Temple University. Mikhail is an impressive leader, understands youth development programs, and is fully committed to taking our Beyond Walls program to the next level. He has been searching for a leadership opportunity and is excited to move his family to the Twin Cities.
