He built and owned the Beaux Jardine Apartment complex in Springfield, Missouri in 1965. Then, while engineering a plant for Chromalloy in Athens, Georgia, he met the individuals who became central in his founding Tuskeegee Mills in Tuskeegee, Alabama in 1966, the first business entity that hired female black women for gainful employment in factory wage-earning jobs. They were so immediately successful that Dr Martin Luther King reproduced them in other locations.
After selling his family business he became an employee of Teledyne and continued working for them for many years including last year helping them win a crucial patent case. In working for Dr Henry Singleton he learned much about venture capital and how to make best use of limited capital for maximum growth.
As a tournament bridge player in 1969, he won a national championship event teaming up with Michael Lawrence and Bobby Goldman.
He then ventured into Wall Street as a broker, trader and principle of his own companies. In 1970, he joined Cogan, Berlind, Weill and Levitt, which bought CBWL-Hayden Stone, which became Shearson-Hayden Stone, eventually merging with Smith Barney and then Citigroup with Mr. Weill at the top as Chairman. Arthur Levitt became Chairman of the SEC. However, along the way, Mike was First Vice President and one of the leading employees for CBWL-Hayden Stone from 1970 through 1973, when the Dow was laboring at just 400. Mike was a member of several futures exchanges; the Chicago Board of Trade the NY Mercantile Exchange, Minneapolis Grain exchange and the N.Y. Futures Exchange. In the seventies he personally handled one of Nelson Bunker Hunt’s Silver accounts until September 28, 1979 when he opted out and liquidated the portion he managed of the account.
