Erik Hansen   – Realtor / Team Leader & Golf Committee Chairman
Hansen Real Estate Team at Keller Williams Gulf Coast — Cokesbury Church Golf Tournament

 

A little about me and my family: I am a true Pensacola native, and have lived only one other place in my entire life. In 2001, my wife (Angie) and I moved to Orlando to start college and life as a married couple. I jumped into real estate while I was still in college at the University of Central Florida in Orlando back in 2003. After a year learning the real estate business and finishing up at UCF, I joined up with Keller Williams Realty in East Orlando and began really building my business. I partnered up with a Team Leader which catapulted me to the top in a very short time period. In the summer of 2013, after being back in Pensacola since 2009, I jumped back into real estate. In January 2016, I rejoined Keller Williams Realty with my entire team. Since that summer of 2013, I have built a successful real estate team that consistently produces in the TOP 10 of real estate teams in Pensacola. We currently have 4 Buyer Specialists (Cathy Paulsen, Rusty Mack, Renee Decker and Jane Oberbeck), a full time Transaction Coordinator (Carly Murphy), Listing Coordinator (Angie Hansen), and a part time Runner (Janice Paulsen). The team approach gives a level of service unmatched by the average single agent. Our staff and Buyer Specialists have the skills and experience to handle all your real estate needs! In 2015, our team closed 90 transactions and are on track for 150 transactions in 2016.

 

Looking to purchase your first home or downsizing into a smaller home? We can help. Thinking about investing in real estate to build wealth and a retirement? We have the plan for you. Seeking an experienced team to sell your home using a proven marketing approach? We offer a full service listing and marketing plan to get your home sold quickly, with the fewest problems and for the highest possible price. Selling real estate is a science and we have the system in place to get you the most money for your home!

 

In addition to being passionate about real estate, I love giving back to my community, traveling with the family to explore new destinations, watching football with friends in the fall, relaxing on Pensacola Beach in the summer, and occasionally playing (attempting to play) golf! My wife, son Peyton and I attend Cokesbury United Methodist Church here in Pensacola. I am the current Golf Tournament Committee Chariman and we recently raised over $10,000 for three local charities. My wife, Angie, is on the Board at Cokesbury Children’s Center, where our son attends pre-school. I am also a member of the Northeast Pensacola Sertoma Club, which raises over $50,000 for local charities every year at events such as HogFest in the Spring and Dragon Boat Festival in the summer. We have a ton of fun giving back to our community and want to teach our son the importance of faith, family and community involvement.

Tara Santosuosso / Chill Cryotherapy Pensacola

Tara Santosuosso started her business career as a software engineer, then took time out to raise her son Anthony. An avid tennis player and skier, Tara sustained a few injuries and had nagging aches and pains. While living in Dallas, she started using whole body cryotherapy for back and ankle injuries. Convinced that it helped her recovery, she looked for one around northwest Florida. But there was none close by. Chill Cryotherapy is the answer.

Tara’s husband Jeff has enjoyed a 25-year career working for some of the major international life sciences companies. With an MBA from Dartmouth and hands-on general management skills, he brings sound business practices and experiences to the team. An avid cyclist, runner, and skier, Jeff also uses cryotherapy for recovery and relief.

Tara and Jeff have lived in Pensacola since 2012 and are members of the Pensacola Chamber of Commerce.

 

WELCOME TO CHILL CRYOTHERAPY, PENSACOLA.

Cryotherapy is a whole-body exposure to sub-zero temperatures used to promote the body’s natural anti-inflammatory response, release endorphins, reduce pain and promote overall health. Cryotherapy is not a medical procedure, but a non-invasive alternative for individuals seeking faster recovery and improved health.

We have selected what we believe is the highest quality unit on the market today. It is manufactured by Impact Cryotherapy Inc. The  unit was designed and is built in the United States. It is a unit we can stand behind.

The unit is currently being used by pro golfers, teams like the New Orleans Saints, New Orleans Pelicans, Tampa Bay Rays, Miami Marlins, and Boston Red Sox. Now the NCAA is turning to Cryotherapy. Impact Cryotherapy has units installed at  University of Georgia, Georgia Tech, and Wake Forest, just to name a few.

We are in the process of setting up our retail location in downtown Pensacola. We look forward to opening in January. See how Cryotherapy can improve your health and well being.

Is Whole Body Cryotherapy right for you? Do you want to:

 Reduce Recovery Time and Muscle Soreness

 Manage Persistent Pain & Inflammation

 Relieve Symptoms of Depression & Anxiety

 Increase Metabolism & Weight Loss

Steven Reynolds and Tim Shipman / Cordova Lanes Bowling Center

Steve Reynolds is the owner of Cordova Lanes Bowling Center, which operates as a community center as much as a bowling and family entertainment center. Cordova Lanes is well known in Pensacola as the place that put ‘fun’ into fundraising, whether hosting a fundraising event at the lanes, or contributing auction items and door prizes to local events.

    Popular evening specials such as ‘penny-a-pin’ and the famous ‘kids bowl free all Summer’ are coupled with a reputation for quality that means Cordova Lanes hosts regional and NCAA tournaments.  They also host local business and networking groups, off-site working lunches for businesses and a flurry of Holiday and Christmas parties.

   The Reynolds family has been involved in Pensacola’s bowling scene for many decades. Steve’s father Bob opened Cordova Lanes in 1979. Since then, it has continued to flourish as a legacy of his philosophy that a business that becomes part of a community becomes an institution; a part of the fabric of that community.

WELCOME TO CORDOVA LANES!

let’s go bowling…

…or throw darts, or play poker, or have a great salad, or share your singing skills with the Karaoke bunch, or catch the big game…

You get my point? Cordova Lanes is a Bowling Center… as in Community Center. We have plenty of activities, but more importantly; we have the perfect vehicle to assist you in meeting your goals, both personal and professional.

Bowling is great fun, great exercise, and a great icebreaker. It’s perfect forfamily gatherings, school field trips, church socials, networking opportunities, fundraisers, dates, civic group meetings, weddings, and birthdays or celebrations of any kind!

PRC/Project Specialist Leader at Studer Group

tuder Group® works with healthcare organizations in the United States, Canada, Australia, and beyond, to help them achieve and sustain exceptional improvement in clinical outcomes and financial results. A Huron Healthcare solution, Studer Group partners with organizations to build a sustainable culture that promotes accountability, fosters innovation, and consistently delivers a great patient experience and the best quality outcomes over time. By installing an execution framework called Evidence-Based LeadershipSM (EBL), organizations are able to align goals, actions and processes, and execute quickly. This framework creates the foundation that enables transformation in this era of continuous change.

Learn More About Studer Group

A PASSION FOR MAKING HEALTHCARE BETTER

Studer Group trusted advisors partner with healthcare organizations to create an aligned culture that is accountable to achieving outcomes together. Working side-by-side, we help to establish, accelerate, and hardwire the necessary changes through a sequenced approach. This leads to better transparency, higher accountability, and the ability to target and execute specific, objective results that organizations want to achieve. EBL provides unparalleled leadership and cultural transformation that empowers organizations to respond to new initiatives more quickly and effectively than the rest of the nation.

EVIDENCE-BASED LEADERSHIPSM AND THE BALDRIGE AWARD

It’s this commitment to helping organizations accelerate their ability to execute that led to Studer Group receiving the 2010 Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. Our evidence demonstrates that the EBL framework—especially the consistency it creates—is a natural fit with the Baldrige criteria.

The same EBL principles we teach our partners are also hardwired in our own organization. The framework forces us to operate with the efficiency, discipline, and accountability that allowed us to achieve a Baldrige Award level of quality in the first place. It also creates the kind of environment that naturally attracts high performers and allows them to thrive.

WHAT OUR PARTNERS SAY

Even though we had all the tools and knowledge, we had read all of Quint’s books, we had implemented many things, we couldn’t do it until we brought a Coach in. And that’s what Studer Group really brought to the table. They’ve been there, done it, and seen it done all over the country. – Steve Smoot, FACHE, VP, Intermountain Healthcare, Urban South Region

Partnering with Studer Group was the best decision I have made in my 25 years as a healthcare executive. We have drastically improved our patient satisfaction and employee engagement in the first year of implementation of the Studer Group’s Evidence-Based Leadership strategies. – Mike Schafer, CEO, Spooner Health System, Spooner, WI

It all comes back to making healthcare better. Working together, we can create great places for employees to work, physicians to practice medicine and patients to receive care.

Kelly Massey and Gerry Goldstein / SBDC

Mr. Gerry Goldstein

My educational background includes a BSBA in Finance from the University of Florida and an MBA from the University of West Florida.  I spent more than ten years on Wall Street in various roles within the investment banking community.  In my early years, I was a short-term money trader specializing in BA’s, CD’s, Treasury Bills, and I also specialized in using the Euro Dollar futures market to hedge cash positions. I collaborated with team members to build two government-trading operations.  My last position was with Merrill Lynch at its headquarters in New York on the institutional sales desk, specializing in short term money instruments.

Returning to Pensacola in the early 80’s, I started multiple businesses, including one of the largest printing businesses in the southeast, which supplied print to the US Government Printing Office. During this same time, I designed an online system to deliver printing contracts from the US Government and State agencies to printers throughout the US.  Currently, I own two companies, Salomon-Goldstein Properties LLC, which specializes in commercial real estate brokerage and Goldstein Properties which owns and manages commercial buildings. I have been active in promoting economic development in both Santa Rosa and Escambia counties for more than ten years and sit on multiple boards, including Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Board of Governors at Pensacola State College, Santa Rosa Medical Center, and Rebuild Northwest Florida. 

Currently, I am an adjunct professor in the MBA department at the University of West Florida as well as program coordinator for the Florida Vet Training Program sponsored by Florida Small Business Development Center state office.
