The original MJS Safety LLC was founded in 1995, by Michael Stookey. His original business  plan hinged on him having a bit of fishing money.  As his client base grew by word-of-mouth, he realized there was an ever-growing need to help small mom-and-pop businesses succeed in the ever-changing landscape of OSHA, MSHA, and FMCSA compliance. 

     Mike's daughter, Carrie, joined the safety consulting world in 2000 to assist Mike in helping clients with compliance and policy preparation. Carrie's husband, Jeremy, joined them in  2010 to bring more DOT and field expertise to our clients.  Their daughter, Brianna, joined the crew in 2015, and the next generation of safety professionals was born. Mike took great pride in the fact that his side hustle fishing money business had grown into a family run operation. 

    When Mike passed away in 2021, MJS Safety as we knew it also passed away. Mikes extensive expertise in Operator Qualifications, DOT compliance and dedication to traveling tirelessly from Montana to Texas and all over Colorado and Wyoming to perform his services gave him a unique place in many operations that could not be replicated. He certainly left big shoes to fill, and a hole in the hearts of many clients who he had come to think of as friends. 

    As independent consultants, Carrie and Jeremy wanted to carry on the 'Legacy' that Michael had started - helping small businesses, and wanted to honor the heart that he put into helping his clients succeed - Michael's 'Legacy'.  MJS Legacy Safety Consulting Services will continue to honor the 'Legacy' that Mike set before us for years to come. 

Our goal is to help companies protect their most valuable assets - their employees. The belief that every worker home at the end of each day - 10 fingers, 10 toes, safe and sound, is not just something we say - it is something we strive to assist our clients in achieving. 

 WHO WAS THE ORIGINAL MJS? - Michael Stookey   
A former United States Marine and Vietnam Veteran, Michael spent 21 years in the asphalt paving and sand & gravel heavy-haul industry before a truck accident changed his life and took him out of driving a truck, something that he dearly loved.  After attending Front Range Community College to complete his AAS  in Transportation & Materials Management, he attended Trinidad State Junior College to complete his AAS in Occupational Safety & Health. Mike started MJS Safety to provide Workplace Safety & DOT compliance services to small companies throughout Colorado in 1995. His focus was on providing quality safety solutions to fit the needs of a variety of companies in a variety of industries, including DOT-regulated companies, construction, underground utility & wet utility construction, sand & gravel mine employers, oil & gas operators and service companies, and many other companies. Michael's extensive knowledge of the trucking industry was sought after by many in the industries he worked in. When he was not on the road serving clients he could usually be found fishing. In February 2021 Mike passed away.  The "legacy" he left behind is one of family. Those who knew him, worked with him, fished with him all have the same message - he was truly a one of a kind person and is deeply missed by his family and his friends.
