After having met Sam for the first time, we knew right away that he was going to be an invaluable member of our Advent Team. His calm and deliberate demeanor, his sense of humor and his genuine desire to assist and empower our clients are evident daily. Sam finds strength and purpose in serving others and understands the importance of truly listening to people and ensuring they feel heard. When Sam is not in the office, you can look for him swimming laps at the YMCA, volunteering with Big Brothers Big Sisters, hiking one of San Diego’s many trails or grabbing food and drink at a new microbrewery with his friends and family. His passions are travel and interacting with new and interesting people and his life-long goal is to explore every country in the world. As we know, even the most extensive travelers ultimately need a place to call home and preferably somewhere that can curb the unquenchable wanderlust. Enter San Diego. With its natural and man-made beauty, vibrant social scene, its wealth of restaurants and proximity to the Pacific, it is easy to see why Sam decided to establish his home here. He found his heaven on earth in Southern California and he wants to help you find and embrace your place in this expansive paradise as well.
