I am a local resident and have grown up in Pasco County. I attended Calusa, Cypress,and Schrader elementary schools. I attended Ridgewood Junior/Senior High School and graduated in 1988. While growing up I excelled in athletics. I went on to become a NCAA collegiate athlete. I played Football for the University of Southern Mississippi for one season before transferring to my Alma Mater, Florida State University, where I played the position of center for two years. I have played with many former and current NFL players including: Bret Favre, Brad Johnson and Derek Brooks. I graduated from Florida State University in 1992 with a Bachelor of Science in Criminology.
I have been married for eight years, my wife and I live in New Port Richey with our two daughters. Both daughters are enrolled in Pasco County schools. I maintain active involvement in the Pasco County community. I coached high school football at River Ridge High School and Mitchell High School for over 6 years. I have spoken to numerous civic groups providing education on sexual offenders, gangs, and crime prevention. My family attends the United Methodist Church in Hudson. I am driven by the desire to serve the community; a community which has provided so much to me and my family.
