Background & Role

Mike began his construction journey in 1975 as a Carpenter’s Helper, working on production housing projects. After five years in residential construction, he transitioned to the commercial sector, advancing through roles as a Journeyman Carpenter, Carpenter Foreman, and ultimately Construction Superintendent.

In the 1990s, Mike capitalized on his extensive experience, confidence, and industry connections to establish his own business as a General Contractor and Carpentry Contractor. Over 25 successful years, he managed numerous ground-up and renovation projects. A significant part of his business focused on automotive dealership construction and renovation, leading him to become a factory-certified ACM Panel fabricator and installer.

In 2015, Mike decided to close his business to spend more time with family and friends, returning to his passion for hands-on construction management as a superintendent. Committed to professional growth, he has taken courses in Construction Estimating, Construction Management, and various trade disciplines, continually enhancing his skills and expertise to deliver exceptional results.
