There are many choices for real estate agents. I have been with Michael Saunders & Company since 2019 and choose to stay because the company's values match well with my own. I was raised to believe that education and hard work create success. I'm sure I was told, but it's been the many years as a husband, father, and business owner where I've learned that honesty and integrity are not only ideals for happiness and decency but are the key elements of productivity. I will approach every meeting, negotiation, setback, and success that you and I may share with this core approach. In my four years at Michael Saunders, I've been fortunate to be recognized as a top-producer and have represented a broad diversity of ages and demographics as both seller's and buyer's agent, on properties ranging from $200,000 to $4,000,000. While strategy varies across the spectrum, my dedication to your goal will not. I was raised in Maine. I'm a graduate of Montana State University, and subsequently worked as a consulting engineer for over 20 years; starting a unique company that is still in operation today. My wife and I have been married for almost 25 years and have three children, all young adults now, still the center of our lives and of whom we are so proud. My wife and I are life-long entrepreneurs, benefiting from both the hard-knocks and the successes that come with the mindset. We have been happy to call the Sarasota and Bradenton area home for the last 14 years. We are proud that our business efforts here have grown to be important landmarks in the local community and have supported considerable charity benefits for under-served and under-privileged communities in the broader Sarasota and Tampa Bay areas. I enjoy hiking and biking and I spend a fair bit of time behind the lens of a camera. I hope we get a chance to meet and discuss your real estate needs soon.
