About Me

I am a fifth generation Knoxvillian with my great-great grandfather migrating here from Virginia in the early 1800's a "poor dirt farmer" as the story was told to me. We have no famous ancestors, no kings, nor queens. My family has been in the real estate industry since the 1940's initially as small investors and landlords. They increased their market share as Knoxville grew with the interstate system in the 1950's. My uncles founded Hicks Brothers Construction in the 1970's. I was born in Germany and have lived in many different places growing up, including Athens, Greece, as the son of an Army Colonel. We moved back to Knoxville several times and have always owned a home in the Knoxville area. I graduated from Knoxville Central High School and the University of Tennessee. I was enticed back into the family real estate business after a career as a commercial pilot traveling the world and living out of a flight bag. Having seen the world, Knoxville is the best! My wife, Karen, and I were introduced by former clients, and married a year later. Great referral! She is from Morristown, Tennessee and has lived in the area most of her life. We have one son, Wesley, a true Tennessean. We live in the West Knoxville area off Northshore on 24 wooded acres. We also own executive single family residential investment properties in the West Knoxville area. Our hobbies include gardening, traveling, and raising Wesley. We are members of West Hills Baptist Church. Mike is a University of Tennessee graduate with a BS in Business Administration. Mike is also a combat veteran, having served with the 101st Airborne in El Salvador 1987-1988. 101st Airborne Division Ft Campbell KY. Mike's primary aircraft was the AH-1 Cobra Attack Helicopter. Mike is also a commercial/instrument rated FAA aviator and has flown over 3000 jet aircraft hours. Mike has lived in Australia, New Zealand and Papua, New Guinea, while assigned to Chevron, BP, Royal Dutch(Shell) locating oil in the Australasia region.
