Art Swanton, Vice President of the Sentry Management Tavares office, has announced that he will be retiring after 23 years of service with the company.

Art began working in the community association management field in 1986 with a local firm in Ocala. He also achieved his CAM license during this time when it was first being introduced in the state of Florida.

Sentry Management President Bradley Pomp comments on Art’s time with Sentry, “Art has been dedicated to serving communities, board members and homeowners his entire 23-year tenure at Sentry Management.  His daily example of helping make the communities great places to live has been the foundation for his leadership in Tavares, and why Sentry has been so successful in that area.”
