| EDUCATION | University of Tampa (BS) |
| SOMETHING SURPRISING | I am a bit of an adventure thrill-seeker. My wife and I have walked with polar bears in northern Canada, gorillas in Rwanda and heli-hiked a glacier in New Zealand. In addition to bungee jumping, skydiving and paragliding, I have also run with the bulls in Pamplona, Spain. |
| FLORIDA ISSUE | Education. Growing the hearts and minds of children who will be the future leaders cannot be overlooked. As a credit union founded by teachers who needed financial products and services that better served their unique needs and budgets, we will always be a champion of education. |
| ALTERNATE CAREER? | I initially started with a pursuit of an accounting degree. |
| PHILANTHROPIC PASSION | The Suncoast Credit Union Foundation has donated more than $25 million to promote the health, education and well-being of children in the counties we serve. |
