As a lifelong resident of Saginaw and the owner of the nationally recognized Bierlein Companies, Mike Bierlein also is a founding member of 1st State Bank. He is actively involved in numerous businesses in the area and the owner of Apple Mountain and has given his heart and soul to the Saginaw community. Mike is not only a business leader, but he’s also a humanitarian leader. He formed and directs The Bierlein Companies Foundation, which has contributed over $2.2 million to charitable organizations and scholarships. In addition, he actively participates in local charities and encourages the more than 300 employees of The Bierlein Companies to do the same.

Mike has always had a passion for golf and a dream of building a first-class golf resort here in his hometown of Saginaw. After securing 305 acres, in 1998 Apple Mountain opened with a John Sanford masterfully designed par 72 championship course to challenge and delight golfers of all ages. Today Apple Mountain is recognized as one of Michigan’s premier courses with a first class restaurant and event center. His passion has made Apple Mountain a flagstone of the community.

The Greens at Apple Mountain surrounded by the 167-acre course and five water features will be the final link to finishing that dream. Partnering with Cobblestone Homes, Mike is thrilled to be able to see the completion of his vision.

Cobblestone Homes was founded in the early 2000s by husband and wife team Mark and Melissa Wahl. After graduating from college and pursuing careers, both Mark and Melissa realized that their love for real estate and construction would no longer be a hobby but a passionate pursuit.

Cobblestone was founded on marrying innovation with craftsmanship. Having partnered with some of the leading building manufacturers and building science firms across the United States and Canada, Cobblestone has earned its place as one of the top one percent of custom homebuilders in the United States. Along with many state and national awards, Cobblestone has also been featured on HGTV.

Cobblestone has grown to offer services unlike any other in the Great Lakes Bay Region, offering in-house design, interior design, and customer care services. Team Cobblestone comprises some of the most talented design and tradesmen in the United States. Developing a strong team of individuals who not only have the technical talent, but also the personal integrity, attention to detail, and true care for people has been a driver in the Cobblestone success story.

Mark and Melissa have both served on state and national building associations, and Mark is completing his governor appointed term on the state licensure board. The two have been married for nearly 20 years and live on their horse farm with their beautiful daughter, Shelby.
