It’s no surprise that Michael Hayes, Vice President of Information Technology, grew up with a fascination for everything electronics and computers. Michael considers himself a creative programmer, who thrives while turning technological vision into the ones and zeros that bring that vision to life.
At Tallgrass Freight, Michael establishes programs to support TGF’s proprietary TMS CRM system, creates reports essential to day-to-day operations and works to create an enterprise architecture that will propel Tallgrass Freight into bigger fields of play.
“The culture here is even better than I imagined,” Michael says. “This team is hard-working. There’s an underlying kinship among everybody here.”
While getting a Telecommunications Management degree at DeVry University, Michael taught himself programming, fueling his love for all things technical to build a consulting career and expand his skill set.
