I have known Mike for around 7 years and have built a couple of sales/marketing models to his designs. He was originally from England where he designed for Fairline. He came to Canada where he was the designer for Cooper (headed by Forbes Cooper) which turned into Cooper Queenship (headed by Dan Fritz) then eventually became Queenship. Now he is with Seaforth (headed by Julie James) which was Seascape Marine Industries. As you have found out he has designed many boats for these companies.Mike is also an engineer and he built boats in a shop in England so he knows how they are built and how they will perform. I encourage you to contact him with any project you may have.
As for Queenship, they have been through some changes but I beleive it is still Dan Fritz behind it. They partnered up with Admiral Marine back in 2000 or so, then ran into major financial problems in 2001 with bankruptcy protection and such. I'm not sure what they are building now but they have bought Crescent Custom Yachts and are all located in a beautiful location and facility in Maple Ridge some 30 miles or so up the Fraser River. Hope this helps.
