Mike White founded Terra Nova Construction in August of 2000 after spending the previous 22 years working for two of the largest builders in the country. His positions at previous employers include project manager, superintendent and general manager of construction divisions.   Over the years Mike has overseen and managed new construction and renovation projects at various price points in the single-family, multi-family and light commercial sectors.

At home Mike enjoys spending time with his family, which now includes his two grandchildren.    When not at work, Mike can typically be found throughout our many local parks and conservations either fishing, kayaking or biking with his wife of 40 years, Robbie.  Mike and Robbie are proud supporters of the local community through organizations like Mission St. Louis, the Jason Motte Cancer Foundation, and Crisis Aid International.

Mike emphasizes that his success is not about how large of a project he builds or how many awards and recognitions we receive.  He defines his success by the many repeat and referral customers we have. We take the time to provide a level of service that stands out as a hallmark to our company as we strive to build long-term relationships with each client.  This is the cornerstone of Terra Nova’s mission statement: “Building Homes with Integrity and Customers for a Lifetime.”
