Michael brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in real estate, business, marketing and advertising to every transaction. Michael grew up in Nashville, TN. On a family ski trip out west as teen he fell in love with the Rocky Mountains and knew this was where he belonged. In the early 1990s he moved to Missoula and attended the University of Montana, earning a BA in Business and Marketing. Michael moved to Big Sky after college and then settled in Bozeman a couple of years later. He worked in broadcast media where he was a consistent top producer. With the strong client relationships he forged, Michael then founded an award winning advertising agency and Distinctly Montana magazine. His marketing firm serviced clients in numerous industries across the nation, but focused keenly on the real estate and building industries primarily in southwest Montana. His extensive experience developing marketing campaigns for these clients led to a natural transition to becoming a top producing real estate broker and has closed hundreds of transactions in excess of $200M in sales. When not helping clients, Michael can be found snowboarding at Bridger Bowl and Big Sky, camping and wakeboarding on Canyon Ferry Lake, fly fishing on Montana's rivers, mountain biking the surrounding trails, golfing at Bridger Creek and spending time with his beautiful wife, Jill and three daughters.
