Michael Casciato

Product Manager - Chemicals
Michael Casciato, from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, has a life characterized by a tapestry of engaging hobbies, including salsa dancing, pickleball, language acquisition, and world travel. Each of these passions not only enhances his personal life but also strengthens his connections with others around him. Casciato's affection for salsa dancing goes beyond mere hobby; it's a profound engagement with a dance form rich in history and rhythm. Originating from Cuba, salsa requires a deep understanding of musical timing—three steps to every four beats—and a synchronous partnership between leader and follower. He excels in this environment, both as a performer and an instructor, relishing the opportunity to teach and watch his students progress and express their individuality through "shines," the solo sequences where dancers can genuinely showcase their skills. Off the dance floor, Michael is equally passionate about pickleball, a sport that marries elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis into a dynamic and accessible game. Introduced in 1965, pickleball has grown exponentially, particularly appealing due to its social nature and the physical benefits it offers. For him, the sport is not just about maintaining physical fitness; it's a communal activity that allows for bonding and spirited competition on the courts. Travel also plays a significant role in Casciato’s life, complementing his love for languages. His travels abroad and within the United States allow him to immerse himself in different cultures, exploring the nuances of local languages, particularly Latin and Greek, which he studies to deepen his understanding of each region's historical context. Michael’s commitment to community service is evident through his volunteering efforts, such as his work with Feeding South Florida and his support for advocacy organizations like GLAAD and the ACLU. These endeavors highlight his dedication to bettering his community and supporting causes that promote equality and justice. Residing in a state renowned for its pickleball facilities, Michael Casciato lives a life full of diverse and enriching activities. His pursuits not only satisfy personal interests but also foster a sense of community and shared joy, illustrating how varied hobbies can contribute to a well-rounded and fulfilling life.
