What will you bring to a project

My enthusiasm to engage with a client on all aspects of a project ensures that their vision becomes a viable reality. With the ability to offer a broad range of project experiences, I have the skill set to enable significant project cost savings and timeframe reductions even before the commencement of detailed design. My approach is team orientated to aligned stakeholders to the project’s ultimate goal.

Outside work

In a former life, Mike managed a scuba diving company and continues to feed this passion with trips to remote locations in the world. With a young family in tow, Mike enjoys camping and attending live sporting events.
