"When Sarasota does well, we all do well," are the words of Mike Vanderpool, the producer of Tesoro Sarasota.

Our site is designed to promote the events and places that make Sarasota such a wonderful place to live and visit. We provide video coverage of a wide-variety of 'happenings' in Sarasota and also offer a directory of restaurants, art galleries, and other places of interest.

Mr. Vanderpool and Paul Bedgio, the brains (and we use the word loosely) behind Tesoro Sarasota, both come from a small business background and have created a way for local businesses to gain international exposure via the web. They understand the diversity that is Sarasota and have built an informative yet fun site that reaches the local market and the variety of domestic and international visitors that call Sarasota 'home' - even if it is for just a weekend!
