With his love of the hospitality business, Michael has pursued the industry with great passion and is the owner of a multi-faced full-service real estate and development company, as well as a hospitality and asset management company, all of which was founded in 1983 and is now one of the largest locally owned development companies in Charleston. Many projects are developed, constructed and managed in this framework and range from award winning resort developments to the redesign and redevelopment of two city blocks, including 7 restaurants, a music hall, a golf course, and over 20 hotels ranging in locations from Charleston to Georgia to the Florida Keys to Montana. These projects are developed with his small team of devoted and hardworking employees and family. His flagship property, Hotel Bennett, opened in 2019 and has received national and international acclaim and is one of the top 5 hotel openings in the world by Preferred Hotel as well as one of the top new hotels in the world by Conde Nast Traveler.
