MICHAEL TISON

AREA REP

For over two decades, I’ve been dedicated to outdoor ministry, combining my role as a professional speaker with my passion for guiding people into the heart of God’s creation. My mission is to challenge others to pursue Christ, live boldly, and lead with purpose. Along the way, I earned a master’s degree in theological studies from Liberty University and am honored to serve as an ordained collegiate chaplain and FCA Outdoors Area Representative with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes.


I live in beautiful Michigan with my wife of over 33 years. Together, we’re blessed to have five adult children who live close by.


When I’m not speaking or serving in ministry, you’ll find me outdoors—capturing nature through photography, camping with my family, coaching varsity softball, or spending time with my hunting dog, Nala, a spirited Pudelpointer.
