Brian moved to the Monterey Peninsula from Sacramento in 2003 to attend Cal State Monterey Bay. He earned his BS in Business Administration and played Division II Golf for the University and fell in love with the area and has continued to build deeper roots. His passion for golf, finance and philanthropy landed him with The First Tee of Monterey County where he was the Development and Finance Assistant and helped underserved youth have a chance for a better future through golf and life skills education. He went on in 2011 to become the 1st Assistant Golf Professional at The Preserve Golf Club where his passion for player development and growing the game was strong. He grew into the Head Golf Professional role, and ultimately the Membership Sales Manager where he enjoyed introducing new members to the Golf and Ranch Clubs. His 9 years of experience at the Santa Lucia Preserve and organic demand for him to serve members at a higher level led to his recent transition to real estate sales in The Preserve Community. His passion for the outdoors, golf and conservation led to him to move to The Preserve where he can best serve the Community. When he’s not working, you can find him snow boarding, trail running, playing tennis, cycling, and most of all- golfing around the world.

Having worked alongside Mike for over 25 years, Nancy’s role on the team is overseeing and approving the print marketing materials from start to finish. Her creative eye lends itself well to working with photographers and other marketing vendors designing print advertising and property brochures for Mike’s listings. Nancy enjoys her “behind the scenes” projects and appreciates the spectacular on and off-market properties the team has listed over the years; as she says, “with properties like these, my job is made so much easier!” Married to Mike for over 45 years, she admits that fly fishing is now a passion, second to testing new culinary creations, followed by a golf game that “needs work.”

After earning her Photojournalism degree from Cal State Northridge, Ellen now calls Monterey home where she pursues her passion for photography, golf, Captain + Stoker coffee and avocado toast and being the best dog-mom to Kona. Since joining the Canning Team in 2015, she has put on many hats. Orginally helping in the Marketing department, Ellen expanded Canning Properties Group in both print and web media design. Ellen has since switched over to the transaction side of the business to challenge her left brain and put her technology expertise to the test.

As a former Division I golfer, Ellen has a passion for the game and enjoys playing on the many courses on the Peninsula. She has a long list of favorites, but the Santa Lucia Preserve Golf Course from the white tees has to be her favorite. She feels the setting in nature really sets this course apart from the rest, but she's willing to debate!

Growing up in a real estate family on the Monterey Peninsula, Nic embraced a rare opportunity of being raised in this captivating coastal community while learning the multi-faceted world of real estate from his parents – Mike and Nancy Canning.

With Mike pioneering the way and Nancy working for a local architectural firm, Nic became enthralled with local real estate at an early age. Nic’s fascination with real estate developed into a lifelong passion for the unique architecture and lifestyle this area has to offer.

Employing second-generation experience and deep local knowledge, Nic provides his clients with invaluable insights on this area’s various neighborhoods, market dynamics and lifestyles. This depth of local market knowledge is further exemplified through his intuitive approach to matching clients with their perfect destination.

While earning a business degree at CSUMB, Nic continued giving back to his beloved community by volunteering his spare time at local non-profits and public schools. Also while in school, Nic developed a passion for martial arts, where he attained a black belt in Renshinkan Karate-Do and later won it’s Pan-American Championship (in ’07).

Nic brings the skill sets he acquired through martial arts – integrity, respect and discipline - into his real estate career, where these same values provide the foundation for every one of his relationships.

An economist at heart, Nic continually analyzes local, regional and national markets to keep his clients updated with real-time data analytics - empowering them to intelligently navigate through our evolving marketplace.

While welcoming clients with interests or investments across all regions of the Monterey Peninsula, Nic specializes in the areas of Carmel-By-The-Sea and Pebble Beach to provide clients with unparalleled market knowledge and expertise in these sub-regions.

When Nic’s not out on the Town helping clients, you can find him playing at his home in Carmel or on the beach with his son (Ryder) and 2 daughters (Madison & Sydney); staying fit with his wife (Megan); or on a golf course pursuing that perfect round.
