His keen negotiating skills, vast experience and complete discretion allow him to represent renowned properties and high-net-worth clientele from tech entrepreneurs and politicians to a-list celebrities and makeup moguls. His knowledge of waterfront real estate is complemented by a deep appreciation for Sarasota’s many beautiful waterways. When not mobilizing customers to make shrewd investments, he’ll likely be boating with his wife and two mini-goldendoodles or playing pickleball at Longboat Key’s picturesque Bayfront Park.
