Mike Hoover

Executive Chairman & Chairman of the Board

Executive Chairman Mike Hoover joined Sundt soon after graduating from The University of Arizona in Tucson. Prior to his current role, Mike served as Sundt’s Chief Executive Officer from 2016 to 2025. His 10-year strategic plan, “Sundt 2025,” led the company to new heights, resulting in a fivefold increase in revenue and record profitability. As CEO he oversaw many successful initiatives including expanding Sundt’s geographic reach from four to approximately 24 states as well as a successful entry into the renewable construction market. Under Mike’s leadership, the company climbed to Number 46 on the ENR Top 400 Contractors listing.

Throughout his 38-year career at Sundt, Mike has held multiple roles across divisions before becoming CEO, including laborer, carpenter, project engineer, project manager, chief estimator, manager of the Heavy Civil (now Transportation) Group and Chief Operating Officer.

Early in his tenure as CEO, Mike coined the phrase KAPBCS (Kick Ass People Building Cool Sh*t) as a rallying cry for every employee-owner to work with pride and confidence. Beyond motivation and an iconic motto, Mike made major investments to establish Sundt as a leader in training and craft workforce development. This included the building of a state-of-the-art training center in Phoenix, AZ.

Mike’s guiding principles, developed over four decades in construction, have fostered a culture of excellence while advancing Sundt’s long tradition of service. His commitment to giving back also helped the Sundt Foundation surpass $18 million in donations to nonprofits nationwide since its inception.

Mike has served as National Division Chairman and Arizona Chairman of the Associated General Contractors of America and President of The Beavers, a national heavy civil construction organization. He is an executive member of the Construction Industry Safety Initiative and participates in the Construction Industry Round Table and the Greater Phoenix Leadership organization. Mike was honored with the Golden Beaver Award for leadership in 2024 and recognized as one of Phoenix Business Journal’s Most Admired Leaders in 2025.
