Mike became President of Travel Haus in 1993, just three years after the company was founded by a local St. Louis family in 1990. Over the past 30-plus years, he has grown the business tenfold, establishing Travel Haus as one of North America’s premier storefront travel agencies.
Under Mike’s leadership, both he and Travel Haus have earned recognition from leading tour operators, hoteliers, destination management companies (DMCs), and tourism boards for their outstanding production and industry partnerships.
Among his most cherished professional honors is his recognition by Karisma Hotels & Resorts, the company behind one of his personal favorites, El Dorado Casitas Royale in Mexico’s Riviera Maya. Selected from more than 100,000 travel advisors across North America, Mike was named Karisma’s 13th Hall of Fame inductee—an achievement that reflects his dedication, expertise, and longstanding commitment to the travel industry.
Mike is also deeply involved in industry leadership and has served on numerous advisory boards. Most recently, he was appointed to the AMResorts Collection Travel Agency Advisory Board, further demonstrating the respect he has earned among industry leaders.
Beyond his professional accomplishments, Mike has dedicated considerable time to serving his community. His charitable board service in the St. Louis metropolitan area has included the Ronald McDonald House of St. Louis, South County YMCA, Vianney High School, and the Leukemia Society of St. Louis.
Above all, Mike is the proud father of three wonderful children, who continue to inspire him every day.
Of all the destinations he has explored, Mexico remains Mike’s favorite. He is captivated by its warm hospitality, beautiful beaches, and the seemingly endless shades of blue found in its Caribbean waters. For Mike, travel is more than a business—it is a lifelong passion built around creating memorable experiences and helping others discover the world.
