A lifelong interest in horses has led Mike to concentrate on equestrian design and incorporate equestrian facilities wherever possible, including the following projects:

Adjacent to the Conyers International Horse Park on the site of the 1996 Olympics Equestrian Venue, this Nature Center incorporates horse trails and linkages into an overall environmental experience. A unique aspect of this site is the variety of piedmont habatat ranging from uplands to lowlands and an extensive standing water wetland. Mike was PM on this project while with JJG.
