Bio:
Mike was named the first executive director of the West Michigan Sports Commission (WMSC) in 2007 when the commission was established, leading all operations since its inception. Under his leadership, the commission has booked nearly 300 sporting events that attracted 315,000 athletes and visitors, generating more than $100 million in direct visitor spending. Mike was recently promoted to president to serve in an expanded role overseeing WMSC operations, the signature Meijer State Games of Michigan, and construction and operation of the championship-caliber Art Van Sports Complex opening in 2015.
