Michael Rudnick grew up in Marietta and attended Lassiter High School. He attended the University of Georgia and majored in Speech Communication.

After college Michael worked for his father running the family business; a sign store near Marietta Square that was in business for 16 years. In 2007 Michael started working at Enterprise Rent-a-Car where he was promoted to Tri-Branded Area Manager of Enterprise, Alamo, and National Rent a Car in Louisville, Kentucky. Frustrated with the public school and special education system in Louisville and lack of state programs for his son, he left his job to relocate his family back to Gwinnett County.

The Rudnicks specifically targeted Gwinnett County in 2018. This was due to the first-class education the county offered. After settling in the Mill Creek cluster, Michael began working for the City of Lawrenceville as the Fleet Director. Michael has enjoyed being able to give back to the community while working in the public sector and serving the citizens of Lawrenceville.

Michael is a vocal advocate for students and parents in GCPS. He has spoken at 9 (and attended 15) GCPS board meetings in the last 20 months, met with leaders of the community, and participated in efforts to give freedom of choice to parents, students, and staff.

I am most passionate about our school system and what we can do to make sure it is going the right direction. I want ALL children to be successful and our teachers to feel like they are valued and taken care of.
