EDUCATION: University of Florida (BA)
DAILY RITUAL: Never miss morning exercise, mostly avoid sugar, put the most important priorities on the calendar, put cell phones away during meetings, never miss an opportunity to spend time with grandchildren.
NOTABLE TREND: Tools and technology that let people work from anywhere. Now, people can live where they want to live, not just where their office is located. The new, best economic development strategies provide for vibrant community life in nature with a mix of housing types, together with an abundance of recreation, social activity and wellness.
IN MY DOWNTIME: Painting, and almost always with grandchildren.
PERSONAL RESET: Prayer first, and then focus on problem-solving.
FOOD FIX: I will take a cheeseburger.
