Michael Alexander has spent a lifetime building. From constructing stadiums to creating opportunities, his approach has always been about creating something lasting. Whether working on large-scale commercial projects, rebuilding his life from scratch, or mentoring others, Alexander has shown that building is as much about vision as it is about action.
“At its core, building is about creating value,” Alexander says. “It’s about making something meaningful that impacts people in a real way.”
Alexander first honed his skills in commercial construction, playing a key role in projects like Globe Life Field, home of the Texas Rangers. His attention to detail and ability to see a project through became defining traits. Over time, his vision expanded. He transitioned from commercial construction to more personal ventures, applying the same discipline and adaptability to real estate, sports commentary, and writing.
His book, Improve Your Position, captured his philosophy and offered practical advice for overcoming setbacks and finding opportunities in adversity. “It doesn’t matter where you start,” Alexander says. “What matters is how you use what you’ve got to take the next step. That’s where progress begins.”
In addition to his work in construction and real estate, Alexander became a trusted voice in sports commentary. Known for his ability to connect with athletes and audiences alike, his post-fight interviews have gone viral, amassing over 200 million views. This experience ties seamlessly into his current involvement with UFC submission grappling, where he continues to contribute to the sport’s growth.
Now, as Alexander looks ahead, his focus is on three projects that reflect his diverse skills and ambitions. Together, they represent his vision for building a better future.
One of his most personal projects is a 40-acre destination community set to open its first phase. Featuring treehouses, wellness cabins, and a wedding venue, the property is designed to inspire connection and offer unique experiences. For Alexander, it’s both a business and a passion project that combines creativity and practicality.
“This is about creating a space where people can recharge and reconnect,” he explains. “I want it to be a place where people feel like they’ve found something special.”
Alexander’s work in construction and real estate reflects his ability to combine vision with practicality. Projects like Globe Life Field taught him to manage large-scale endeavors, a skill he’s now applying to more personal ventures like his 40-acre treehouse destination community.
Alexander is also focused on the sports world, where he remains deeply involved in the UFC’s submission grappling events. Having worked in various roles at these events, he’s watched the sport evolve and gain traction with a growing audience. For him, playing even a small role in the sport’s growth is a privilege.
“Submission grappling is on the rise, and it’s incredible to see the level of talent out there,” he says. “Being part of that process is an honor. The people in this space inspire me every day.”
Alexander is even diving into technology with a top-secret AI project. While he’s keeping details under wraps for now, he hints at its potential to make a significant impact. For Alexander, the challenge of pushing boundaries in a new field is part of what excites him most.
These projects highlight the diversity of Alexander’s vision, but they’re all tied together by a common thread: building something meaningful. Whether it’s a physical space, a technological breakthrough, or a moment in sports history, Alexander approaches each endeavor with the same focus and drive that have defined his career.
