MEET THE TEAM
CO-FOUNDERS
Adam Porter
Co-Founder
COLORADO
Born and raised as a blue-collar kid in Michigan, Adam Porter learned the value of hard work at an early age. It wasn't something he was taught—it was simply the way of life. That work ethic became the foundation for everything he has built.
Adam graduated from Colorado State University with a degree in Industrial Technology Management, a unique combination of engineering, business, and construction management. While many graduates set out to climb the corporate ladder, Adam had a different vision. He knew from day one that he wasn't going to work for someone else—he was going to build businesses of his own.
After college, Adam founded a landscaping company in Denver, Colorado, which quickly grew into one of the largest in the state. Never one to settle, he later expanded into the short-term rental industry, building a successful portfolio that is now managed by his wife, Emele, who also somehow manages to keep up with their two wonderful daughters, Breeze and Raven.
Entrepreneurship eventually met another passion—golf.
While looking to install a golf simulator for his own business, Adam and his longtime friend Mike Boire realized there was a major gap in the market. Customers needed more than just equipment—they wanted a knowledgeable, local partner who could provide a complete turnkey solution from design to installation and long-term support.
With two entrepreneurial minds, a shared passion for golf, and decades of construction and business experience, Virtual Tee Systems was born.
Today, Adam has helped grow Virtual Tee Systems into one of the premier golf simulator companies in the country. While the company's success is measured in projects completed and customers served, Adam believes its greatest achievement is the team behind it. His leadership philosophy centers on empowering employees, building lasting relationships with customers, and conducting business with integrity, transparency, trust, and respect.
For Adam, success has never been about being the biggest company—it's about building the best company, one that people are proud to work for and proud to work with.
His leadership philosophy can be summed up by one of his favorite quotes from the late, great Bo Schembechler:
"The Team, The Team, The Team."
At Virtual Tee Systems, those aren't just words—they're the culture that drives everything they do.
Mike Boire

COLORADO

Raised in Tigard, Oregon, Mike grew up with sports at the center of his life. He played four years of baseball at Oregon State University while earning a degree in Business Marketing and was named All-Pac-10 as a sophomore in 1997. Following college, he spent two seasons playing for the Wanneroo Giants in Perth, Australia, an experience that sparked a lifelong love of travel and adventure.
Mike's entrepreneurial journey began while attending Oregon State, when he started a house-painting business. After moving to Colorado in 2002, he founded Colorado Carpet & Flooring in 2008 before later co-founding Virtual Tee Systems, where he now helps golfers create world-class indoor golf experiences.When he's not working, Mike enjoys mountain biking, golfing, and chasing adventures around the world—from trekking through Patagonia to rafting the Grand Canyon. He lives in Colorado with his wife, Laura, and their dog, Max.
