A landscape architect for nearly 20 years, Michael works closely with Sportworks Design, understanding the visitor and player experience to create a welcoming space. As a former collegiate track athlete, he understands the specific nuances of sports design that contribute to creating memorable places for celebration, teamwork, camaraderie, and motivation. 

Michael’s experience ranges from sports and athletic facilities, higher education, urban design, parks and recreation, transportation, and others. He is dedicated to the construction administration process, working from the beginning through the completion of a project to see the design come to reality. Michael is passionate about helping clients realize their visions.
