Before The Line

Michael K. Semiao is a first-time author, entrepreneur, and former standout athlete whose writing explores the intersection of ambition, identity, and emotional growth. As the founder and CEO of MKS Associates, Michael brings the same discipline and focus he once applied on the basketball court to his work in healthcare consulting and innovation.

His debut prequel, Before the Line, offers a deeply personal look into the early life of a young athlete shaped by quiet discipline and unspoken pressures. The forthcoming memoir, Courts of Reflection, continues that journey—blending the world of competitive sports with a raw examination of resilience, isolation, and coming of age.

Michael lives in Massachusetts with his wife and is currently preparing to release Courts of Reflection in late 2025.
