In 1979 as a new immigrant, Sanjay came out to New Mexico to attend St. John’s College in Santa Fe. Plato and Aristotle, Aeschylus and Shakespeare, Kant, Baudelaire, Einstein, and Dante brought him here. But it was this land itself, with its stark, bright light, dramatic landscape, rich culture and the many friendships he made here that kept him coming back. After a 13-year career working for a number of SF Bay Area retail companies (The Nature Company/Discovery Channel Stores, The North Face, Illuminations, Restoration Hardware, etc.), in operations, human resources and real estate/construction, including managing several multi-store roll outs, Sanjay followed the woman he loves to northern New Mexico in 2002, to set down roots, invest in real estate and to make Taos home.
Here in Taos he has relished becoming a part of a community that is diverse, creative and serious. There is nothing like involvement in the life and institutions of a community to build relationships and to make sense of how it all works. Sanjay's own interests and those of his step children have been his guide: he became a part of the Taos Soccer Coalition, a couple of Acequias in the Taos Valley, the Friends of Anansi Charter School, the Board of the Taos Ski Team and Intermezzo of the Santa Fe Opera. In addition Sanjay served for six years on the Board of Visitors and Governors of St. John’s College which has campuses in both Santa Fe, NM and Annapolis, MD. Today he serves on the boards of the Taos Land Trust and of the Quail Roost Foundation. Sanjay believes in the long term value of real estate in northern NM. This has led him to study it, and to invest in it and he hopes his experience and knowledge will be a guide to buying or selling property here in the Taos Valley.
