Mike received his formal education in the Bachelor of Architecture program at Kent State University. His experience at the University gave him the itch to get into the business of translating concepts into bricks and mortar. He joined Joseph Ferut and Associates, Architects in 1994 as a design assistant. In 1998, Mike moved to Jennings and Churella Construction in Wellington, Ohio as a project designer in a design/build construction company. He found that he enjoyed the design/build method of project delivery and moved to Simonson Construction Services, Inc. in 2001 as lead designer.

Mike’s architectural style and his ability to tap into a client’s mental image is truly an asset for Simonson Construction Services, Inc. That capacity along with his management of our computer systems and software keep us headed in the right direction.
