Mike Byrd
Midwest PLM
I started my career in 1993 running asphalt millings machines. Only a few years later I found myself as the Operations Manager for a large milling company, managing over 10 mills up and down the east coast. That experience took me even further, overseeing large highway projects from start to finish. In 2014 I started Midwest Parking Lot Maintenance LLC. alongside Leigh Byrd. We quickly grew into one of the largest asphalt maintenance companies in Ohio, receiving Pavement Maintenance Magazines “2019 Contractor of the Year” award. That September we sold the company to Ronyak Paving. Since then I moved to Idaho and work as an Estimator/Project Manager for ESI, Colorado’s largest Civil Paving and Infrastructure Company. I also own and manage a company called Siteworx Consulting. We consult small and large companies on things like estimating, project managing, job costing, growth strategies, and create company policies. I have been on the NPE’s advisory board for 3 years now as well as speaking and training at the conference.
