“I want to give Michael Breeding my highest and sincere recommendation.” – U. S. SENATOR WENDELL HAMPTON FORD (1992)
Michael Breeding helped me create a perfect tribute to my Mom, Lillian Press, and I could not be happier with the result . His vast experience, his creativity and raw talent resulted in a tribute that I know my Mom would have been so proud of. We have watched it often over the last couple of years since her memorial, and it helps us remember her and celebrate her each time we see it. We are so glad we have it. Moreover, the process of working with Michael was so smooth, and stressless, and fun, and he always listened and was willing to go any direction we wanted, while at the same time giving us very precise direction when we asked for it. He is a collaborator, and, in my opinion, is quite brilliant at what he does. – LOWELL PRESS
