Michael White is a Sales Manager for Brookville Equipment Corp. in Brookville, PA. In his current position at Brookville Equipment, Michael performs all aspects of lead generation, evaluation, and capture of sales for streetcars, locomotives and underground mining equipment.
Michael’s work history began in the United States Coast Guard in 1989 where he honorably served eight years as an aviation electrician. Aspiring for a fulfilling career in business, Michael began Distance Learning through Penn State in 1998 which he completed at the DuBois Campus in 2007. He began working for Brookville Equipment as their marketing specialist. Traveling extensively throughout the USA, and six countries on three continents, Michael led sales and marketing efforts for all three product divisions. Today he champions the submission of multi-million dollar sales proposals for private and public procurements for transportation fleets all over the world.
When Michael is not out selling streetcars, much of his time is spent on a mountain bike trail. Eleven years ago Michael founded the FAT TIRE Challenge mountain bike race held locally in Clear Creek State Forest. That single race led to the creation of a 6-race series called “Bike-the-Wilds”. Michael has received several awards from Penn State, including the Eric A. and Josephine S. Walker Award, the Penn State Business Outstanding Junior Award, and the Penn State Program of the Year Award, all in 2006. He also received the Penn State Terry Hartman Volunteer Service Award in 2007. Michael currently serves as a volunteer on the Pennsylvania Trails Advisory Committee (part of the DCNR), BSA merit badge counselor, PSU DuBois Alumni Society President (2013-2014) and he is the retail committee chair on the Brookville Chamber of Commerce.
Michael’s true passion is his family: wife Melinda, and daughters Megan and Madison are all proud supporters of Penn State along with Michael’s mom Paula and father Glenn White ’73 FORT.

In the second game in as many days, Penn State DuBois men’s basketball came away with a 90-87 win over visiting Penn State Schuylkill. Schuylkill, who didn’t play the night before, lead 13-11 6 minutes into the game. DuBois looked to find their legs after winning against Penn State Hazleton 81-69 the night before. Both sides would battle for the rest of the first half, at the buzzer freshman PG Kendrick Maye (Woodbridge, Virginia) would nail a pull up 3 point shot that Steph Curry would be proud of.
