MADISON, WI Findorff announces the Associated General Contractors (AGC) of Greater Milwaukee has recognized Project Manager Mike Stern as the 2016 Chairman of the Year.

Stern lives and breathes project management, yet he still maintains a grassroots approach and prides himself on remaining fully invested in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin, community. Throughout Stern's role in the AGC of Greater Milwaukee's Construction Leadership Council, he has been a conduit for general contractors, specialty contractors, and many others to help develop future industry leaders.

Stern has also made his mark on many notable projects throughout Milwaukee. For instance, Stern completed The Moderne, a 30-story, mixed-used high rise in Milwaukee's Park East Corridor. His proudest accomplishment while working on The Moderne included helping put at least 500-plus union builders to work. Additionally, Stern recently completed the 15,000-square-foot, new premier office for Milwaukee World Festival Inc., as well as numerous projects for ProHealth Care Waukesha Memorial Hospital. Currently, Stern is working on the office development for Wangard Partners at North Water Street in downtown Milwaukee.

When not volunteering his time for many community service initiatives, such as Rebuilding Together Greater Milwaukee and the American Heart Association, Stern enjoys spending time with his wife Kari and their two young daughters.
