Brian and Meirav met in high school and then married 21 years ago. Blessed with two beautiful children, they moved their family to Coral Springs 14 years ago and have been loving it ever since! Their kids, Samantha, 18 and Logan, 15, are busy with activities throughout the community. Their three pet bulldogs Rocky, Lucy and Cooper round out the family circle.
Meirav works for MV Realty and has been a Realtor serving Coral Springs/Parkland and Broward County for 13 years. She says, “I understand and listen to what my clients are looking for in neighborhoods, schools, city life…” Brian works with a large beverage distributor in Miramar, and is also a mortgage broker at 1st UK Mortgages. For 11 years he and Meirav worked together in real estate.
Both kids are super active and love to give back to the community. Samantha will be a soccer Goalie at Wagner College on a full scholarship and was the soccer face for Dick’s Sporting Goods for the past 3 years. Logan plays football at North Broward Preparatory School, where he is beginning 10th grade, and volunteers with the younger football players at Coral Springs Chargers football club during his free time. Both of them donate to the Make A Wish Foundation any chance they get.
Mom and Dad couldn’t be more proud of their smart, community-minded children. Meirav says, “Samantha just graduated from North Broward Prep and is moving to New York to play college soccer and study her passion, Pre-Med. Logan is a very well rounded student and enjoys math and science.”
Like most parents, Brian and Meirav are very involved in their children’s sports and activities. Brian coached soccer for years for the city. Meirav tells us, “As the kids got older and more involved in their sports, both Brian and I became their biggest fans, and our passion and joy is watching them play from the sideline.”
Together, the Susis love doing activities and enjoying all the City has to offer. Meirav adds, “Our family also owns Pita Pan Bakery and we donate as much as we can back to the community.”
Speaking of family, that’s one subject that seems to be the focus of this one. Meirav lights up as she continues, “The love of family is life’s greatest Blessing! We are really close to both sides of our family and try to get together for dinners as much as we can. Our favorite time is the holidays where the entire family of 30 comes to our house for dinner!” During daily life, the quartet of Susis eat dinner together with NO phones or electronics every night. Brian says, “It gives us time to talk, share, laugh and just be together. Something we are going to miss since Samantha is moving so far away.”
Never regretting their move to Coral Springs, Meirav says, “We enjoy everything it has to offer! We love how family-oriented and pet-friendly it is, with so many activities! It’s one of the reasons we moved here 14 years ago from Plantation.” Brian adds, “We love how clean the city is. It’s been a wonderful place to raise our kids.”
