Michael is a Certified Residential Appraiser and is our President/CEO, Owner, and Chief Appraiser. Michael founded FWIWA in early 2009 and has worked in Real Estate Appraisals for over 19 years. He is a native to the Grand Strand and his family has been in the Grand Strand for multiple generations, giving him an even more in-depth knowledge of the area. Prior to working in the real estate appraisal industry, he worked in the hospitality industry which taught him excellent customer service skills and communication with wide variety of individuals. These are principles he has instilled in the company culture at FWIWA since its inception.

At a young age Michael was fascinated with real estate and all the aspects of it. Being in this industry has led him to expanding into other real estate areas such as home building, real estate investment, real estate management, and property acquisition. With his extensive firsthand knowledge of these areas, it increases his overall knowledge of the marketplace and the ins and outs of areas that affect value. Outside of the office, Michael enjoys spending time with his Wife and two beautiful daughters. They spend their weekends traveling, boating, and enjoying our local amenities like the intracoastal waterway and our beautiful beaches.
