In the heart of a housing commission area, Managing Director & CEO Michael Boehm embarked on a journey fueled by determination and grit. With the absence of a father figure, Michael understood that success required relentless effort. Commencing work at age 10 with paper rounds and part-time jobs, he harbored dreams of building a prosperous empire. At 15, Michael commenced an apprenticeship with a Victorian company, departing when it faced receivership six years later.

Armed with $2000 and a windsurfer strapped to his 1969 Holden, Michael ventured to the Gold Coast for a surfing holiday. Following this brief respite, he acquired a dilapidated orange juice run, christened “Mr. Juicy,” and transformed it into a household name. Despite adversity, including contracting a debilitating virus while vacationing in Europe, Michael’s resilience and the support of dedicated medical professionals propelled him forward.

Rebounding from near financial ruin, Michael established several distribution businesses in the Gold Coast and Brisbane. With unwavering determination and a single part-time employee, he founded Aussie Emergency Glass in 1997, situated initially in Southport.

In the early stages of the venture, Michael juggled glazing windows, administrative tasks, and nighttime security duties. Despite the demanding schedule, the company flourished, leading to the establishment of the Brisbane Office in 1998 and the Sunshine Coast Office in 1999.

Driven by ambition, Michael envisioned a national network for his Australian-owned glass replacement company. In 2001, the Melbourne branch opened its doors, a poignant location as it stood just minutes from where Michael had commenced his apprenticeship 25 years prior. Responding to demand from insurance companies and corporate clients, the Sydney office and factory debuted in 2003, solidifying Aussie Emergency Glass’s nationwide presence.

With a network of 160 glaziers spanning the country, operational around the clock, Michael’s vision materialized into reality.

In 2009, Michael faced a life-threatening health crisis, undergoing emergency open-heart surgery. Despite the challenges, he persevered. After a 12-month recovery period, Michael returned to full-time work within the company.

Fast forward to 2014, and a new chapter began. Jake, Michael’s eldest son who had been a dedicated part of the company for several years, assumed the role of General Manager. With Jake’s robust technical expertise, coupled with his innovative vision, He led the integration of advanced technology, bringing a modern perspective to the company’s operations.

Today, Michael continues to lead with resilience and inspiration, supported by the entire family, who are actively involved in the business. His journey is a testament to the power of unwavering dedication and perseverance, showcasing that dreams can indeed become a reality.

Michael feels he has established his empire and has finally

“made his dream into a reality” his inspiring advice to anyone who has ever had a dream or desire is to never give up hope – dreams do become a reality with hard work, desire and a very strong will to succeed. Just remember to enjoy every day because every day that you are alive is a gift.
