Mike was the BIM/VDC leader in my team at MiTek Modular Systems. He demonstrated strong leadership and technical aptitudes during our time working together. He managed his team effectively on a project with large scope and complexity, always maintaining high morale and team spirit even in the toughest moments. He has a strong command of the software required to deliver the most complex architecture and construction projects. Overall, Mike is a solid professional in the space with one of the highest work ethics I have witnessed in my career.

Enjoyed working alongside Michael as a BIM Manager collaborating in developing an innovative process of applying BIM to Modular Construction. Michael set the groundwork for a lot of BIM processes by leading a team in developing Revit models and data application. Michael thrives in complicated work as he's got the knack for problem solving by breaking down problems to its parts and piecing together innovative solutions. I learned from Michael the importance of developing a schedule to keep the project moving and delegating tasks. Great to have worked with Michael!
