About Brad
Born and raised in Sarasota County, I am a third generation Licensed Real Estate Broker residing in the Venice/ Nokomis/Englewood area. I spent a lot of my youth boating and fishing the local waterways from Tampa Bay to Boca Grande Pass searching for the famous Silver King (Tarpon). I’ve watched and been part of the amazing growth a development in Sarasota County. I did explore outside the area and drive across the country twice to live in Santa Cruz, California each time finding I would rather live in Sunny South West Florida, even though Santa Cruz is rated as one of the most beautiful places to live in the US. The giant Redwood trees grow all the way down to the Pacific Ocean in Santa Cruz. Still much of my family lives in the area and works in the Real Estate profession, making my career path an easy decision. To this day when I’m not helping people sell and buy Real Estate you can find me on the water enjoying what this area is all about, Sun, Sand and Water. Check out all the interesting info about fishing and boating on my website. Come and see me anytime for a boat ride in our local waters we just might find a Silver King.
