Born and raised in Greenville, SC, Mike Kirakides graduated from Clemson University in 1988 before going into his family’s business to hone his operations and management skills. Afterwards, he went into commercial real estate with the Furman Company before co-founding KDS Commercial Properties, a brokerage and development firm. 

 

In 2016, he was contacted by Bill White to serve with JUMPSTART where Mike’s talents for real estate proved instrumental in the development of Restoration Village. Once he learned about the challenges facing men and women coming out of prison, he was moved to help remove those hurdles and officially joined the board in 2017. 

 

“As a believer and follower of Jesus Christ, we’re all called to serve… We all have a gift. Everybody has something to offer.” 

 

As a firm believer in second chances, Mike’s vision for JUMPSTART is to see more lives changed through the Gospel. And because he doesn’t believe we should put God in a box, he hopes to see the ministry grow into a thriving community that can be replicated for greater impact. He’s been married to his wife Debbie for thirty years and they have three daughters together. Since 2009, they have been faithful members of Grace Church.
