My family moved to the panhandle 30 years ago when I was a young teen and I grew up working and going to school in the surrounding area. After high school, I moved through the ranks of Pizza Hut; working in Bonifay, Chipley, Geneva, and Defuniak Springs while attending classes at Chipola Jr College in Marianna and Florida State University Panama City Campus. My formal education incl udes a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting and a Master's of Business Administration from Florida State University Panama City Campus. I moved to Lynn Haven at the beginning of 1999 to open the first Tropical Smoothie in Bay County. Being one of the first 20 franchisees, I know how to market and familiarize consumers with new products. Over the next 14 years I opened 3 more Tropical Smoothie Cafe franchises, 1 cafeteria, was Director of Operations of a retail operation, and was Director of the local Tropical Smoothie Cafe Marketing Co-op. My wife and I have been married for 16 years and have two beautiful children at Lynn Haven Elementary. With them is where I spend most of my free time; swimming, walking, extracurricular activities, and just general playing!I give 100% to everything I do and have always been in the customer satisfaction business. Let me put my skills to work for you.
