"Without incredible vision, no great idea can get off the ground."


For more than 20 years, the exuberant creative energies of F. Michael Graves have been bringing exciting new concepts in retail and entertainment to life.

His proven ability to oversee design, technical and operational aspects of businesses, and to push the envelope to make great ideas happen, have afforded him the opportunity to take a leadership role in dozens of impressive projects, including Elvis Presley’s Memphis a Live Venue restaurant, Dan Marino’s American Sports Bar and Grill and the Las Vegas Hilton’s Star Trek: The Experience.

Prior to attending the Harvard School of Design, Graves received his undergraduate and bachelor’s degrees from the University of Houston. His impressive array of degrees include BBA's in the fields of Finance, Marketing and Economics.

Upon completing his formal education Mr. Graves accepted a position as personal assistant to J. Peter Grace of W.R. Grace on Wall Street. The rest, as they say, is history.

Mr. Graves is fond of saying that his ability to “dream big” comes from his Texas roots.  To maintain that perspective, he makes his home in Dallas.
