Lake and Style Magazine 40 under 40

At the time in 2011 the magazine was called South Lake Press. They asked the community for 40 of the best and brightest young leaders in Lake and Sumter counties under 40 years old. Out of hundreds of entries only 40 were inducted into the inaugural class of the Harbor Point Media, Daily Commercial and South Lake Press 40 under 40. The criteria was based on community involvement, leadership abilities, insatiable work ethic and a desire to help others, track record of success and history of giving back to the community. The candidate had to be a well rounded in professional and above the rest. I was honored to be one of the 40 that were chosen to have an article written about myself and in the magazine as a young leader 40 under 40 of Lake County where I reside. Needless to say I was very proud of that accomplishment.
