Mike brings a diversification of experience in the areas of land acquisition, planning, sales, and development of mid to large scale land tracts including several golf course developments. He spent the early portion of his career in the greater Atlanta market where he was instrumental in the acquisition and sales of acreage tracts located in the expanding growth corridors of the greater Atlanta marketplace.
Mike later worked with ClubCorp from Dallas, Texas as a development project manager in the Greenville, SC area. Pursuant to the Greenville project he established his own land planning and development company. Mike’s land planning, golf course design and golf course construction projects in South Carolina, North Carolina and Pennsylvania have received numerous awards. He also served as a workout agent for a South Carolina bank and successfully developed and sold 100% of the bank’s back log of lot inventory in the North Myrtle Beach, SC area.

With his land planning background, he can assist clients by developing detailed conceptual plans showing the potential yield of acreage sites. This unique skill opens up a new dimension of support for both buyers and sellers who choose to engage Mike’s brokerage services.
