Sanford Mann founded American Hartford Gold on a principle he learned from his father early in life: provide customers with unparalleled education and a fair deal. This straightforward philosophy has earned the company an A+ customer satisfaction rating and established it as one of the nation’s fastest-growing precious metals dealers.

Growing up in a close-knit farm family, Sanford developed a strong work ethic and a deep sense of community. After earning his degree in Economics from Connecticut State University, he built his career in senior financial management roles in New York City. Driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, Sanford moved west, settling in Santa Monica with his family.

Sanford’s belief that customers are like family underscores every decision he makes. He attributes success to an unwavering commitment to superior service in every transaction.

Outside of work, Sanford is passionate about giving back. He volunteers with several non-profits, serves on multiple boards, and maintains an active lifestyle. A devoted dog lover, Sanford is often accompanied by his boxer, Cookie—whether at the office or on the beach.

As Chief Executive Officer of American Hartford Gold, Sanford leads the company’s strategic direction in the gold industry, prioritizes attracting ethical and knowledgeable talent, and ensures the highest standards of customer satisfaction.
