Mike Tedesco grew up in Spokane, Washington, attended school at the University of Idaho and the University of Kansas. He obtained a bachelor's degree in Geography and a master's degree in Urban Planning.

After moving back home, he became the President of the Downtown Spokane Partnership (business improvement district).

Today, Mike is the Planning and Economic Development Director for the Spokane Tribe of Indians.

Mike's deal experience includes everything from hotels, convention centers, neighborhood development, university district development, and downtown revitalization to large scale manufacturing facilities, international negotiations, and influencing state legislation.

Mike is married to his beloved Caitlin. They have two children together -- Madelyn and Cooper.
