Executive Director
Experiential educator and adventurer, British-born Mike Meighan developed a love for the outdoor and underwater world at an early age. He sailed the Mediterranean before entering Southampton University in the UK where he took a First Class Joint Honors degree in Oceanography and Marine Biology. In 1995, Mike joined the team as biologist, oceanographer and scuba instructor for ActionQuest youth adventure camps, the teen sailing and scuba diving arm of Global Expeditions Group.
His passion for experiential education led to the development of our accredited college-level program Seamester in 1998 and GoBeyond in 2001. Mike sails with our largest programs in the BVI during the summer and, throughout the rest of the year lives in Sarasota with his family Jo, Joshua and Kai, where he directs ActionQuest, GoBeyond and Seamester.
