Mike started early in the home building business. As a youngster, he worked alongside his father-first sweeping up job sites, then “knocking out” punch lists. Over time, Mike mastered every role in the home building trade, including handyman, superintendent, sales, finance, and management. In 1999, Mike established Micon Construction, built his first home, and went on to develop custom homes and multi-family developments.
