| HOBBY | I am a self-taught amateur archaeologist in a sense because I hunt and collect Indian artifacts in lots of remote places in North Florida. |

| ONE THING I'D CHANGE | I would love to have better rail service (even high-speed rail) crisscrossing the state and utilizing current rights of way. |
