I grew up in New Port Richey and graduated from Gulf High School.  I have an undergraduate degree in Natural Sciences with a minor in math from Florida Southern College.  I earned an MBA at the University of Florida.

I've held a number of different jobs over the years, including teaching at the graduate level, running a large (600+ employee) company, and serving as a non-profit executive director, but I love my current job as an owner of a small IT company best of all.

In my spare time, I'm the Deputy Mayor of New Port Richey and I like to ride my bicycle.  I also volunteer in several capacities with the local Boy Scout Council and I am the Chair of the Suncoast Health Council.
