| EDUCATION | New Smyrna Beach High School |
| SOMETHING SURPRISING | I am a music lover of all genres, and I play the drums. |
| ALTERNATE CAREER? | Servant leadership is in my blood, so I would remain in the service industry. |
| PHILANTHROPIC PASSION | As a food retailer, we have a responsibility to reduce food waste. Over the past 10 years, Publix has donated more than $2 billion in food to Feeding America-member food banks and other non-profits. And we’ve committed to another $2 billion over the next 10 years. |
