Born and raised in Charlotte Harbor, Florida, right on the Peace River, I grew up skiing, swimming, and enjoying everything the water had to offer. I graduated from Charlotte High School and went on to earn both my undergraduate and graduate degrees from Florida State University.

For 30 years, I worked as a school teacher — with the last 22 years dedicated to teaching elementary physical education. From 1999 to 2014, I lived in Newport Beach, California, where I continued teaching P.E. and also spent seven years working as a Realtor. While I was there, I learned to snowboard and surf — the only two things I truly miss about California!

These days, I stay active by attending CrossFit Punta Gorda 3–4 times a week. On the weekends, you’ll usually find me out on my boat in Charlotte Harbor with my girlfriend and friends — fishing, relaxing, and soaking in the beauty of the water.

I absolutely love Punta Gorda and Charlotte County. It’s a special place, and I truly enjoy introducing newcomers to this incredible community and helping them find their place here.
