Local veteran Michael Madison takes over ownership of Sylvan Learning Colorado Springs

Michael Madison recently took over ownership of Sylvan Learning in Colorado Springs, and the Colorado Springs Gazette spoke with Madison about his background and plans for the business.
The article discusses in detail Madison's military service and the subsequent injury that almost stopped him in his tracks before he was able to get back on his feet and find a new passion with Sylvan.
Said Madison to the Gazette, "I was looking for a way to contribute to the community. My military career was a calling for me, and I feel the same way about education as I did the military. It gives you a purpose or reason to get up in the morning, knowing you're going to do good for people."
