I was born on Staten Island, NY, moved to
Casselberry when I was 13 yrs old. I lived in
Casselberry 27 years before moving to Winter Springs
in 2000.
I was among the first graduating class of
the newly built Lake Howell High School, which has
since been demolished, due to poor construction, and
rebuilt. I enlisted in the Army after HS, trained to be
a medical corpsman, earned my EMT license at Austin
Peay State Univ in Nashville, TN.
Three years later came back home, graduated from
SCC and then UCF with a bachelors in Business
admin. I have 4 sisters and 1 brother, all living here
in Seminole county.
My dad was a member of the Rotary Club of
Casselberry for a few years, both he and I
were sponsored by Lou Guglielmello although many
years apart. I chose to join for the business
contacts, but I have stayed for the community, the
fellowship and the great feelings I get inside when I
see all of the good that our club does for others in
need. I have been mostly involved in the community
service side of our club.
I have been a real estate
broker for 10 years, owning my own company, Real
Estate Consulting Group. I am happily married for 7
years to my beautiful bride Valerie, and have 3 loving
dogs; Sasha, Rascal and Anna Belle. Our hobbies are
motorcycling, diving and our dogs. I just celebrated
my 8th anniversary in Rotary and look forward to
many more years of community service and the
fellowship of my Rotarian family.
