Mike has enjoyed decades of industry success in Real Estate, the Music industry, and Information Technology innovation.

On a personal note, Mike and his family planted roots in Franklin TN more than a decade ago, delighted to make a home among like-minded and freedom-loving friends. For years, Mike and his wife Kate were successful professionals in the NYC music and Broadway Theatre world—he a professional trumpet player and Musical Director/Conductor on staff at Radio City Music Hall—she a television and Broadway Theatre actress.

His wife Kate is a bestselling author, speaker, and former Broadway actress who co-starred opposite Yul Brynner in "The King and I" for more than 1,000 performances. Their daughter Francesca is a GRAMMY and DOVE Award-winning singer/songwriter and Christian recording artist, and mother to Mike and Kate's seven grandchildren.
