After graduating from Mississippi State University with a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture, Mike began his career in the design/build division of Davis Landscape Contractors. He moved to The Brickman Group a short time later, where he helped pioneer their branch model. During his 23 years with Brickman, he saw annual revenue increase from $40 million to $850 million, creating a network of branches across the United States. He was active in developing new markets, engaged in all aspects of mergers and acquisitions, led corporate functions for marketing and employee development, and served Brickman as their Executive Vice President during his last seven years. Today he is the CEO of LandCare, one of the industry’s largest national landscape maintenance companies. At the helm of LandCare, Mike sets the tone for growing the next generation of leaders who will innovate the future of the landscape industry. He believes a strong culture based on core values is integral to building strong successful teams. Mike’s leadership style focuses on people. “People who believe deeply that they are part of a great team and engaged in a meaningful mission will commit courageously to the business’ success.”
