Having my sons, Matt and Patrick, involved in Mike Hollaway Custom Homes is a profound experience. They both started young—Matt diving into construction by cleaning job sites and learning from the ground up, shadowing me in client relations, before moving into more complex roles like estimations and office management. Patrick followed in similar footsteps, gaining hands-on experience every step of the way. This hands-on approach provides them with a comprehensive understanding of both construction craft and business operations.
The advantage of this multi-generational involvement is immense. Rather than simply being handed positions, Matt and Patrick absorbed the business culture and values I’ve spent decades building. Matt, with his keen ability to decipher clients’ true needs through conversation, brings fresh insight that aligns perfectly with our quality craftsmanship standards. Clients benefit from this blend of my experience and their youthful energy.
This succession plan ensures our clients receive the best of both worlds — my tried-and-true expertise paired with fresh perspectives. The result is an evolving team that remains committed to excellence.
