Recommendations
“Mike’s broad professional skill set - design, detailing, computer skills - make him a valuable
member of our architectural team. In addition, his focus and very high level of efficiency contributes
consistently to great work.”
— Don McLaughlin, Owner, Place Architecture, LLC, managed Mike at Place Architecture LLC
Experience
“Mike participated as a thesis student in a recent studio I taught at Montana State University and I
found not only his design and technical approach to be thorough and creative but ultimately very
buildable. Mike’s demeanor is reserved and thoughtful combined with an energy to produce more
than less and in the process weigh the various options available before proceeding. I would
recommend him to any architectural firm focused on quality design and production. Feel free to call University Projects
me write me with any further questions at kanderson@pearsondesigngroup.com.”
— Keith Anderson, taught Mike at Montana State University-Bozeman
“Mike has done an excellent job of creating a Revit model for an architectural project - a complex,
single-family residence. Mike is excellent to work with, efficient, and knowledgeable about
architecture, project coordination, and working on a team that is multidisciplinary able to coordinate a wide variety of input.” Work Experience
— Terry Beaubois, Mike’s client
