Mikey Taylor

Co-President

Mikey first found success with nearly two decades as a professional skateboarder. Early in his career, he was already thinking about life after skateboarding, which led him to become a co-founder in Saint Archer Brewing Company. This San Diego-based craft beer company saw great success, which caught the attention and lead to a multi-million dollar purchase by MillerCoors in 2015. With a unique perspective being an entrepreneur and skateboarder, he brings a unique take to real estate, one driven by community and purpose.
