Michael Vickers, Chief Executive Officer

Mr. Vickers, as Chief Executive Officer of Compark, is responsible for the daily business activities of the company. Mr. Vickers’ vision for the Compark real estate development project, located in Douglas County, Colorado, has enhanced the value of the company’s primary asset and prepared Compark to take advantage of the growth currently taking place in the southeast metropolitan area of Denver. From inception of the project, Mr. Vickers has conceptualized, planned, and processed the Compark PD mixed use development, and in February 1998, Douglas County gave zoning approval to the project enabling Compark to proceed in its development. Since that time Mr. Vickers has led the development to become a recognizable alternative for business relocations and residential living.

Mr. Vickers has been actively involved in the real estate development business for over 25 years. His experiences gained in the development and marketing of the master planned communities of Desert Mountain and Desert Highlands, in the Phoenix marketplace, and Castle Pines, south of Denver, are examples of the quality product and market awareness he envisions for the Compark project.
