Mike Kosor was born into a military family moving across much of America as a child. He inherited a strong sense of service and the value of integrity from his father, a retired Air Force Chief Master Sergeant.
MEET Mike
After attending college on an AFROTC scholarship, Mike would spend twenty-four years in the United States Air Force. There he was a combat tested fighter pilot in the first Gulf War, commanded an F-15 fighter squadron, attended the USAF War College, appointed to serve as a senior military advisor in the Middle East, and finished his military career in Washington DC directing the efforts of the Air Force's largest foreign military sales region.
Retiring as a Colonel, Mike would have a second successful career in hospital administration, where he would quickly rise to become a facility CEO for a major for-profit hospital operator. Retiring a second time, in large part to assist with the care of this parents, Mike moved his family and parents to Las Vegas and eventually Southern Highlands in 2011.
It Matters
Mike has an undergraduate degree in Accounting and a Master's Degree in Public Administration. He holds a commercial airline transport pilot certificate. He flew briefly for United Airlines until it went bankrupt in 2001 and held a Realtor license in two different states.
Mike has demonstrated his commitment to fight for owner interests, not those of the developer or other typically influential parties. Read about his landmark legal victory against Olympia and our manager, advancing HOA owner's free speech rights. Motivated by a sense of service, he has spent the past ten years impacting local issues such as HOA reform, Clark County’s unfilled community park commitments, inadequate public infrastructure to meet the growth in the SW Las Vegas valley, flawed development agreement oversight, and the general failure of our association board to adequately advance the interests of Southern Highlands owners.
Mike now uses his time, experience, and energy seeking reform of Nevada's HOA laws for homeowners. He will work the big picture issues- like keeping HOA assessments reasonable, remove the huge cost and liability operating "public" parks owners now shoulder, engage on community issues adversely impacting our local area (inadequate public safety and park funding), and protect our community’s reputation as a premier place to live, much as he has done during his three terms on the Christopher Communities HOA Board and term as one of two SHCA elected directors.
Mike has proven success leading multiple large organizations. He can successfully lead our community.
