on to detail delivered with enthusiasm and ambition. Michael is a Chicago, IL native and graduated from Northern Illinois University, where he received a BA in Sociology. He spent his years after college in corporate sales as well as a corporate training field. Though the slower pace of life, beautiful weather, and the ocean lured him to the Florida Keys in 2007 and has called it “Home” ever since. Michael spent 8 years as a PADI MSDT Scuba Instructor, USCG 100 Ton Master Captain, and Dive Shop Manager. But ever since he was a child as much as he had a love for the water he also had a love for architecture and real estate, so in 2015 he hung up his board shorts, t-shirts, and flip-flops for pants, collar shirts, and shoes. When not selling real estate Michael can be found out with his fiance and their two (rescued) dogs, scuba diving, fishing, out on the boat, and taking pictures all along the way. Michael also spends his time serving on the Board of Directors for the Florida Keys Board of Realtors, Past President, and is Chairperson of the Young Professionals Network of the Florida Keys.
