Michael Staaf

Bio

Michael grew up in a suburban neighborhood near Pittsburgh PA on a large estate like property of 18 wooded acres.  He immediately developed a passion for nature and all of God’s earthly treasures, from; hiking in the woods with his German shepherd, viewing wildlife, fishing in a pond, and listening to a babbling stream.  These formidable years helped to be the building blocks for his interests in the future.

He learned good work ethics and skills working for his father at a young age (11) and learned to use tools, engineering, leverage, communication skills with others, how to respect others, and the power and respect of money.

Michael developed an interest in aviation and motion pictures at an early age, both, interests that he still carries to this day.  Along with those interests he learned and became interested in music, martial arts, horseback riding, and many other activities.   He always seemed to have well rounded interests. His father always told him to “learn and do as many different things as you can; you only go around this world once, Michael”.

As life goes through its twists and turns Michael found himself in his twenties lost and unable to carry forward with the plans that he thought would be his future, and he stumbled into a new future, Real Estate.

He built a career in Real Estate strictly by accident, not realizing when he started where it would take him or where he would end up.   Throughout a long series of twists and turns he is today still re-inventing himself.  He is still positive about working towards a future where he can fly airplanes, make movies, and build things.

He is the proud father of two wonderful children who are his everything.  He is a person who has had many successes in life, many failures, many loves, many losses, but in the end he will look at you with a big smile and say, “I wouldn’t have it any other way, the first fifty were amazing, I can’t wait to see what the next fifty bring”.
