From public service to real estate

Mike started his career as an emergency medical technician and police officer in Massachusetts before moving to Southwest Florida, where he spent his law enforcement career. He worked as a robbery and homicide detective, a member of the hostage negotiation team and a watch commander, and he retired as a lieutenant. He was also a patrol K-9 handler with two different dogs, Maverick and Koa. In addition, he taught legal studies as an adjunct college professor.

That background is why the brokerage is called Blue Line. Mike understands shift work, sudden moves and the pride and pressure that come with serving, and he gives first responder and military families extra care. See our first responder and military resources.
