| EDUCATION | University of Florida (BA), Nova Southeastern University (JD) |
| MAJOR INFLUENCE | Roman emperor and stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius. There’s so much wisdom on leadership, family and personal development to be gleaned from his seminal work, Meditations. |
| LEARNED TO APPRECIATE | One thing I’ve come to appreciate over the years is the impact affordable housing has on the broader community. It helps keep multigenerational families together, which gives people the freedom to start new businesses and sparks entrepreneurial activity, and that in turn helps neighborhood revitalization. It’s ripple-turned-wave effect. |
| ADMIRES | Railroad mogul Henry Flagler laid the foundation for everything that Florida is today. |
