Summary
Graduated with a of Bachelor of Arts degree and went on the to complete my law Enforcement certificate from the state of Florida in 1995 and continued to help my Granddad and dad run what is today a 4th generation commercial citrus nursery operation, and one of the oldest citrus nursery in the state of Florida on record. Currently looking for new ways to keep our farm lands farming, due to the citrus greening disease / (HLB). Due to citrus greening, I'm still working in law enforcement in order to off set my losses.
