Meet Mike D - TCM's Community Manager

System - Wednesday, June 8, 2016

Where are you from? Why do you love it? What’s been your favorite place to live?

Transplanted from Chicago to Tampa where as a teen, the beach proved to be much more inviting than a snow sled.

Tell us a bit about your professional background. How did you arrive at TCM/BRG?

Immediately after high school, I joined the Navy to see the world and for the next 29 years that’s what I did. This is also when I met Mike Tolley while stationed in Atlanta where we flew world-wide logistics together for the Navy (not all Navy serve on ships). I met Mike once again after moving back to Atlanta upon completing my time in the service and now proud to once again be working with Mike here at TCM.

How long have you been at TCM/BRG?

Proudly working with TCM 2 years now

What was your favorite moment at TCM/BRG and why? 

Within days of acquiring a new community, I was notified the water would be turned off to a number of homeowners due to the initial design of that section of community many years ago. The Developer designed for a commercial building so only one main line was ran. When homes were built instead of the commercial building, the plumbing was never corrected so for last 8 years, the homeowners basically were getting free water. Once this was discovered, they were given a VERY short period of time to have this corrected or loose water altogether. Through many emails and phone calls, a contractor was able to come through and correct this situation prior to the deadline given and to the great satisfaction of these homeowners!

What do you like to do for fun? 

When not out riding the mountains via bike or motorcycle, often out hiking and exploring all the parks between Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee.

Tell us about your family:

My family also enjoys all the outdoor adventures so often when weather turns nice, we can be found camping and believe it or not, we are all hockey fans too (both daughters born and raised in the south) so go figure.
