What is your word and why did you chose it?  Overcome

Help to raise three boys into well-mannered, hardworking men. 

Continue to work hard and achieve financial security for my family. 

Favorite way to give back to the community?

Donate my time and abilities to help those in need with major items of disrepair on their homes.

What do you love and/or hate about the Ocala area?

You never leave home without: Tape measure and concealed carry.

If you could tell your 16-year-old self one thing:

Don’t spend . . . invest. I wish I would have learned this at an earlier age. 

Anything else you’re super passionate about that you’d like to tout: I love good food and good wine .
