Meet the Team

The best advice I ever received was from one of my mentors: “There are no mistakes, unless you fail to learn from them.” I’ve made a lot of mistakes and I learn something new every day.

 

Missy founded MCM in 1992 as a full-service construction management firm. Over the course of the last three decades, she successfully guided MCM to expand its body of work to include program management, development consulting, historic preservation, and real estate development.  The firm is nationally recognized for its expertise in historic tax credit development.  Missy’s career began in 1991 as an estimator/project manager for the Acme Arsena Company where her accomplishments include Key Tower and Progressive Field in Cleveland.  She graduated in 1991 from Boston University with a BA in Art History.

 

Missy’s civic and community service resume is lengthy.  She serves on the board of the Downtown Cleveland Alliance as Treasurer, the Group Plan Commission, and as an advisory board member for the College of Arts & Sciences at Boston University. 

 

Missy and her husband, Nick Swingos, have three almost adult sons.  In her free time, she enjoys cooking, reading, live music, and travel.  A life-long Cleveland sports fan, you can also find her at Browns, Cavs, Indians, Vikings, and Buckeyes games.

Rochelle has been with MCM since 1995 and considers herself a jack-of-all-trades, master of none in the industry.  She has years of experience with both Development projects as well as Healthcare and Institutional projects including Hinkle Fieldhouse at Butler University and UH Seidman Cancer Center.

 

She has a strong and loyal work-ethic but still maintains her sense of humor – which is what she considers the most useful tool in her toolbelt.

 

Rochelle enjoys hiking and spending time with her boyfriend Mark, her son Matthew and their dog, Ruby. 

Critique the work, praise the people.

 

Ky has over 25 years of experience in economic development in targeted neighborhoods and health care business management in multiple subspecialties, now focused on new and renovating health care facilities.  Subspecialties have “personalities” and medical facilities must build to stay one step ahead of a complex, dynamic and constantly evolving set of needs and regulation.  She relishes understanding the big picture, merging the personalities and needs with the design and build process – finds it a satisfying and creative contribution to the communities served.

 

A devoted book clubber and investigative ‘googler’, Ky enjoys crafting new experiences, all manner of the arts, travel and family time with her husband Jeff, their “adulting” children and a few fabulous grandkids.  

Thriving neighborhoods are the foundation for economic vitality and creativity.  Steve has spent the past 25 years working with clients and communities to revitalize neighborhoods through real estate development and placemaking, using local, State and Federal incentive programs as well as development advisory services and feasibility analysis to help clients understand risks and make sound investment decisions.

 

Steve is an active civic participant, having served on various boards, committees and commissions.  He currently serves on the board of the Spanish American Committee, as well as the Avon Lake Community Improvement Corporation and various local economic and community development efforts. He participated as a member of the Leadership Cleveland Class of 2014 as well as the Cleveland Bridge Builders Flagship Program in 2007.  Steve obtained a Master Degree in Real Estate from the Johns Hopkins University located in Baltimore, Maryland as well as a Bachelor Degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Finance from Baldwin Wallace University.

 

Steve enjoys golfing, fly fishing, cooking and traveling – along with living life with his wife, Angela, and their two children.

Greg is a designer at heart.  He’s a creative problem solver. 

 

Greg started his career as an architect and still loves design.  His real passion though is bringing projects to life.  With over 15 years in design and construction, he knows it takes a lot more than design to make a project happen.  There’s logistics, timing, financing, codes, regulations and more that go into making a project successful.  Greg is good at seeing the big picture and understanding how all the different elements of a project work together.  He considers it his job to balance these elements and deliver the best overall product.

 

Never afraid of a challenge, Greg and his wife have 4 boys and a century home they are renovating.  He enjoys coaching baseball, camping with the family, and BBQ.

Bethany kicked off her career in design and construction with a summer internship at MCM long before she officially joined the team. She appreciates the challenges and opportunities presented by a broad range of architectural projects. Between her tenures at MCM, Bethany earned her Master of Architecture (2018) and BS in Architecture (2016) from The Ohio State University and worked as an architectural designer and project manager. She holds an architect license in the state of Ohio.

 

A lifelong Clevelander, Bethany and her kindergarten sweetheart Adonai have two young daughters.  She enjoys knitting and crocheting, making miniature sketches of the buildings around her, and exploring local parks and stroller-friendly trails with her family.

Braedon began his career as a project administrator with a construction management firm, focused on public works projects.  Using his experience and knowledge in the areas of design review, constructability assessment and finance review, he strives to bring cohesiveness and collaboration to all projects.  He believes there are no problems, only solutions and that everyone involved in a project is part of the team.

Outside of work Braedon enjoys spending time with his significant other Morgan and their 2 dogs, Artemis and Atlas. He also enjoys woodworking and metal working as well as holding the official family and friends title of “tech guru”.  

 

Leslie has 45 years of accounting experience and has been with MCM since 2008.  Her work covers accounting, human resources, operations, and asset management.  What Leslie really does at MCM though is to keep things running smoothly.  Her work is not always visible to MCM’s clients, but she plays a part in almost everything MCM does and is critical to MCM’s success.

 

Leslie likes flower gardening and making jewelry, which she sells at festivals & art shows.  She lives in Lakewood with her daughter, Heather, but dreams of a cottage in the English countryside.

Laura has been an office administrator for small businesses for over 25 years.  She has sold Italian picture frame molding, custom windows and doors, designed and sold kitchen cabinetry, estimated commercial electrical bids, and kept the books; all while running the office for these small businesses.  Along with her organizational skills, the unexpected and varied skills she’s acquired over the years give her a unique perspective and the confidence to quickly shift gears to take on anything thrown her way.

 

Laura enjoys refurbishing furniture, reading, and continually renovating her century home.  Laura and Danny, her husband of 33 years, take pleasure in spending time with their three adult sons.
