Born and raised in the Salinas Valley, Sam learned the virtues of hard work from Swiss immigrant farming life. He has adapted that same work ethic to his real estate practice and excels at that hard work it takes to do the right job for his clients. After graduating from Cal Poly State University in San Luis Obispo with a Bachelor of Science degree in Agricultural Business Management, Sam moved to the Monterey Peninsula and has been involved in real estate and the good life there ever since.
