I am a Florida native, born at Halifax Hospital in Daytona Beach, a graduate of Mainland High School and Daytona Beach Community College (now Daytona State) before receiving a BS and MBA from the University of Central Florida. In 2003 I became licensed as a CPA (Certified Public Accountant) by the Florida Board of Accountancy. In the community, I have participated in the Leadership Flagler Program, Relay for Life, served on the Board of local charitable organizations, and am a proud member of The Journey Palm Coast Church. My wife and I reside right here in Palm Coast with our 3 children.
