“Fulfilling a Dream”…..

Joined by two of his brothers, Michael opened Elite Mechanical.

At points, he oversaw in excess of $20 million of work and over 200 employees. In 2014, Michael started Elite Mechanical Systems, LLC as a Certified Mechanical/Plumbing Contractor in the State of Florida and licensed to do work in Alabama.
