After nearly 20 years of success in the commercial mortgage banking industry, Mick's entrepreneurial spirit compelled him to open Venture Commercial Mortgage in 1990. Today, the firm remains one of the most successful and highly respected commercial real estate mortgage companies in the Upper Midwest. By combining the creativity and flexibility of an independent firm with the financial resources of major national lenders, VCM has originated more than $7 billion in commercial real estate loans and has a servicing portfolio in excess of $585 million.

Described by clients and employees as a hard-working entrepreneur with integrity, character and honesty, Mick's journey to success is inspirational. Over 25 years later, Mick's skill, professionalism, leadership, and success still energize and motivate the Venture team.

When off duty, Mick enjoys being with his wife, three daughters and their families. He is also an avid golfer, and enjoys attending or watching sporting events. He has done some traveling, but he says a trip to Alaska is definitely on his “bucket list.”
