In 1994, Mike founded Discovery Land Company, a USA-based real estate developer and operator of private residential club communities and resorts with a world-renowned portfolio of domestic and international properties.
Located in some of the most beautiful places in the world, each project is distinct, with themes and architectural styles inspired by the environment and traditions of the project’s locale. The private clubs have world-class resort amenities, service and club programming that create an elevated lifestyle for the entire family. Mike’s vision was born out of an enduring love for family and a personal desire to create intimate communities where families can forge lasting memories and enrich their lives in exquisite and untouched sanctuaries.
Prior to the formation of Discovery Land Company, Mike was a managing partner at Haas & Haynie, where he was the lead developer and visionary on several high-end projects including The Estancia Club, McDowell Moutain Ranch, Cordevalle Gold Club and Lodge and Blue Oaks Estates.
