About
Originally from Claremont, New Hampshire my family and I moved to Florida when I was 8 years old. I attended Garden Elementary School followed by Venice Area Middle School. At 14 years old I started my first job as a bagger with Publix Supermarkets (on Venice Ave). I kept my job at Publix for 2 years, during this time I entered Venice High School. At 16, I left Publix to work at Aston Gardens Retirement Community as a dishwasher, but after a year I left to work a summer job at a corporate Air Conditioning company installing duct work in new construction buildings. During this time I earned the rank of Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America.
Once school started again in the fall, I had to leave that job to start my senior year at Venice High. I took a job at Pizza Hut, Inc making pizzas at the beginning of my senior year. Half way through my final year in high school, I started a second job during the day through on the job training where I left school at 10:15 and met up with my dad – I rode with him training on the repair of appliances and working for the same company he worked for. Once I graduated from Venice High School, I started working for them full time. After working for 4 years at a large Appliance and Air Conditioning company, I decided to start my own business.
My wife and I built Appliance Specialists, LLC – we opened our doors in March 2010. I have been building our reputation with customers and businesses in Venice, Sarasota and surrounding counties. Our customers appreciate our fair prices, fast and friendly service.

Originally from Brandon, Florida my family and I moved to Venice when I was 5 years old – which makes me a native Floridian! I attended Venice Elementary, Laurel Nokomis School and graduated from Venice High School. After graduating Venice High I attended the University of Florida – I graduated from UF in 2008 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration. Two of the most important lessons I learned in my Entrepreneurship Class at UF were: to succeed as a small business, you must (1) be invested in your company (physically, mentally, emotionally, financially, etc.) and (2) you must have amazing customer service. Seth and I have taken these lessons and incorporated them into the way we run Appliance Specialists, LLC. Thank you for considering us for your appliance repair needs.
