TESTIMONIALS

“I grew up next door to Michael's father David, and I have known Michael since he was a child. I watched him evolve from a successful career in broadcasting, to a chain of retail stores. Michael’s real estate development company has developed many award-winning projects throughout Jacksonville over the last 30 years, and he has made an impressive impact on Jacksonville and its citizens. To me, Michael rises above so many others because he is a stand up guy who always strives to do the right thing.  I would highly recommend him for whatever project(s) he feels he is suited for.”


- Jake M. Godbold
  Former Mayor of Jacksonville (1978-1987)
