Our March "Food & Wine" event held at the Spectrum in El Segundo was a huge success.  We were thrilled to welcome over 200 guests!  This event was supported with enthusiasm by Flemings, Rubios, Silvios, Macaroni Grill, and Hummus Factory for delicious tastes of their cuisine!  Thank you to our wineries including Summerland Wine, Beaucancon Estate Wines and Battaglini Estate Winery and our other sponsors: Zico Coconut Water and Body Spectrum. In addition, Jet Blue donated two pairs of roundtrip tickets to anywhere they fly for our raffle!  Lastly, a huge thank you goes out to Daniel Schwab from the Spectrum Club.  Daniel did an incredible job putting the event together!

We hope you support our sponsors as they have so graciously supported us!"

Member Spotlight: David Coe
 
The Manhattan Beach Young Professionals are proud to announce David Coe of Freedom Growth as MBYP's Honorary Member of the Month for April. The group recognizes a Member of the Month that has contributed above and beyond the call of duty for the Manhattan Beach Young Professionals.

david coeDavid Coe is the founder of Freedom Growth, a company that specializes in real estate investing through self-directed IRAs. As a seasoned real estate agent and investor, David was introduced to self-directed IRAs while desperately seeking a better way to save for his own retirement. Those lessons grew into Freedom Growth and he now helps individuals and small business owners build truly diversified retirement portfolios through a wide range of real estate investments. After joining the MB Chamber of Commerce, David's first function was a Young Professionals event. He connected with the MBYP's commitment to community, as well as the networking opportunities it provided. He's been a MBYP member ever since.

David and his wife Brooke have pledged to live their lives to the fullest and enjoy all of the interests that make them well-rounded humans. They have two amazing boys that they love spending time with as they develop their passions. David enjoys traveling the world and experiencing its many cultures. If not cooking in the kitchen, you can find him on the mountain, near the ocean or experiencing life. But mostly you'll find him around the South Bay building Freedom Growth into a successful, passionate venture!

Thank you for taking the time to read the MBYP monthly newsletter. We hope to see you at one of our many upcoming events.
