His experience encompasses high-profile projects in China, Korea, Macau, India, Russia, Mexico, Canada, and Costa Rica, as well as more than 50 projects throughout the United States.

In addition to his architecture and interior design skills, Mike’s success – and that of his company – comes from a deep understanding of the resort environment, his membership at four clubs, the operational needs of clubs and resorts, and the always-evolving services and amenities that matter most to their members and guests. His straightforward manner can quickly bring order and clarity to competing priorities, and his consummate familiarity with the project type allows him to develop reliable budgets and impart credible expectations for a project’s outcome. Mike is adept at visualizing concepts for site and space planning issues, applying the input of the client group, and concisely conveying the solution to secure consensus and support. His staff has adopted and employs that same singular focus and resolve, whether for a hotel or clubhouse, or a maintenance shop or cart barn.

Mike’s expertise has delivered highly functional and universally respected facilities to a host of esteemed clients. This commitment to stay at the forefront of the golf hospitality industry has brought MAI many coveted design awards, including Golf Inc. Magazine’s “Best Private Clubhouse” in the U.S. eight times, and the Gold Nugget Grand Award for “Best Clubhouse/Recreational Facility in North and South America” four times.
