About Mike

I aim to make architecture, design, & history fun & interesting through special experiences you won’t find anywhere else.

Hello, everyone! Welcome to Tours With Mike. I’m Mike (he/him)!

Exploring cities has been the focus of my adult life. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a degree in real estate, urban planning, and finance, I moved to Chicago, the country's architectural capital. For more than 15 years, I worked as a real estate investment professional and volunteered in my free time as a docent leading architecture tours. I have since made my passion my profession: creating and sharing special experiences highlighting Chicago's spectacular sites and stories! I could not be more excited to offer you these different kinds of tour experiences:

I hope to see you soon either virtually or in-person!
