A coach at heart, Mike’s passion is to serve and impact others by helping them achieve more. Both in business and on the basketball court, he empowers people to accomplish ambitious results. His enthusiastic energy is reflected in his 20 years coaching basketball which includes winning a National Championship in 2009 as an assistant coach of the Spalding University Women’s Basketball team. Through his community involvement, Mike played an integral role in continuing the tradition of excellence of the Kentucky Derby Festival Basketball Classic. He was a chair of recruiting for the program and managed to recruit 22 high school seniors to play in the event who later went on to be NBA first round draft picks.
Mike is a coach when it comes to business, as well. As a Realtor and business owner, Mike is a highly decorated, top-producing agent who thrived building his business during the recession. Mike and his father opened his independent, boutique brokerage, RE Solutions, in 2011 to have a company that is completely aligned with his core values and principles. In 2013, his company won the LEO Reader’s Choice Award for Louisville’s Best Real Estate Agency. His agency was much smaller than the competition but was recognized for its commitment to service and results. Mike was selected as a “40 Under Forty” business leader in 2016 by Louisville’s Business First. His agency was also chosen as a GLI INCredible Award finalist for small business of the year in 2018.
