Mitch M.

Project Manager

Born and raised in North Dakota, I earned my construction management degree from NDSU before moving to the Twin Cities to work for a commercial contractor. I eventually started and ran my own residential specialty contractor company for ten years, and now I’m back in construction management at Gardner. I love the energy of working with so many different people and the way each project brings a new challenge. I try to be a positive example to everyone I interact with, whether it’s coworkers, architects and engineers, trade partners, or the owners and clients who make up the rest of our project team.

I bring a mix of practicality and personality to the job. I appreciate simple tools that get big results, which is why my favorite tool is a pry bar. 

My hobbies outside of work include baseball:  Not only do I volunteer as a coach for my son’s youth baseball team, but I also play in an over 35 league with a few of my coworkers. I’ve been known to impress even Minnesotans with my surprisingly good loon call, and I never pass up a chance to ride a rollercoaster since heights don’t scare me one bit.
