Christopher L. Carmody Jr.

Shareholder/Chair of On-Campus Recruiting, GrayRobinson, Orlando

Carmody has been with GrayRobinson since 2006 and has been leading on-campus recruiting since 2014. “We live by the mantra of our founding partner Charlie Gray: ‘If you build your community, you build your firm.’ Thus, we take pride in financial and pro bono contributions, including my role as general counsel to the Greater Orlando Sports Commission and the Orlando Science Center,” Carmody says.

EDUCATION: University of Florida (BA, JD)

INSPIRING FLORIDIAN: Arnold Palmer. While known for his golfing achievements and business ventures, his philanthropy is what inspires me. He started children’s hospitals in both Pittsburgh and Orlando and supported numerous causes through his foundation.

MOTIVATIONAL MANTRA: Hard work beats everything.

IF I WERE GOVERNOR
“Planes, trains, and automobiles. ... As Governor, I would deploy any and all resources to spur this growth in the infrastructure and vehicles that use it to ensure our tourists, truckers and citizens get to where they need to go.”
