The Silverland Schools Complex for the Lyon County School District is one of his largest projects to date and includes the completed middle school campus plus a site for a new elementary school.

Everyone on this project understood the need and worked with purpose to get the project done on time," he explained. "The Mitch Pond in Gardnerville Ranchos is also one of my favorites. This project created an urban fishery that enjoys constant use by the residents of Carson Valley" Mike is the current Principal-in-Charge and Project Manager on the Downtown Carson Streetscape Project, creating a multimodal corridor with efficient traffic flow, safe bike lanes and pedestrian access, for the economic vitality and revitalization of downtown Carson City.
