Michael Sull (born 1949) is an IAMPETH master penman[1] and author living in Mission, Kansas, United States. A world-class expert on penmanship, he was Ronald Reagan's calligrapher after his Presidency[2] and is known worldwide for his skill and teaching ability. He regularly teaches handwriting, calligraphy, and engrossing programs throughout the United States, Europe and Asia.
