About Trinity & Mike Kersey, Founder
I'm Mike Kersey, founder and principal consultant of Trinity Business Solutions & Consulting, based in Hurricane, West Virginia. Trinity helps manufacturers, government contractors, and growing businesses transform operations, build workforce capability, and drive measurable efficiency improvements — without the overhead of a large consulting firm.
My work is grounded in Lean Six Sigma Black Belt discipline, 27 years of U.S. Air Force service, and 20+ years of post-military manufacturing and industrial leadership at organizations including FLSmidth, Special Metals, and GESTAMP.
What this means for your organization
-
You work directly with Mike Kersey throughout every engagement — not a project manager or junior analyst
-
You get structured, evidence-based improvement built on 20+ years of real operational leadership — not advisory recommendations from the sidelines
-
You get documentation and controls that hold after the engagement ends — SOPs, evidence packets, and standard work your team can run without outside support
My Story
I spent 27 years in the U.S. Air Force, retiring as a Senior Master Sergeant after leading global aerial port and transportation operations across Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Horn of Africa. I was responsible for moving hundreds of thousands of personnel and more than 100,000 tons of equipment while managing large-scale, high-risk programs where failure was not an option. That experience shaped how I lead today: disciplined, calm under pressure, and relentlessly focused on execution.
After completing my military service, I moved into manufacturing and industrial leadership positions. I have served as a Continuous Improvement Manager, HSEQ Director, and Quality Manager for companies such as FLSmidth, Special Metals, and GESTAMP. In my roles within large industrial organizations, I have achieved over $20 million in documented savings. I successfully reduced operating expenses by 46%, decreased scrap by up to 90%, increased throughput by 40%, and enhanced first-pass quality to world-class standards.
Today, through Trinity, I focus on three things: structured business transformation diagnostics, operational efficiency improvement using Lean Six Sigma methodology, and workforce development that builds the internal capability to sustain results.
