Hi, my name is Dick Metzler... Hailing from Minnesota, I started investing in Southwest Florida in 1992 while here doing sales and marketing for the Minnesota Twins baseball organization.

Previous to working with the Twins, I worked in sales and marketing in the package and graphics industry for many years.

In addition, I have been called upon many times over the years to give motivational speeches to salespeople in several different industries and organizations. I have spent much of my free time over the years coaching Little League baseball and Pop Warner football. I, myself, boxed professionally, played semi-pro football in Vancouver, British Columbia. The fast-pitch softball team I was on while living in Minneapolis/St. Paul area traveled over much of the upper-Midwest of the United States.

Since moving to Kelly Greens Golf & Country Club in Southwest Lee County, I find myself enjoying the beautiful sunny weather of SW Florida by golfing and other outdoor activities.

Being a true "FANATIC" of both the Minnesota Vikings and the Twins, I have had the opportunity to form friendships with several of the players, coaches, and executives of these organizations, including a dear friend Billy Martin of the Minnesota Twins and New York Yankees fame.
