If you live in Tampa Bay, Why are you here?

I grew up in Tampa and returned after college. I love the lifestyle.

How long have you lived here?

45 years

What neighborhood do you live in, why did you choose it and what do you like about it?

We live in a small 42 home community in Carrollwood. We have incredible neighbors that are among our closest friends. This was our "five to seven year house" but because of the sense of community, we're not leaving unless we can take our neighbors with us.

If you were to move to a different neighborhood, what would it be and why?

I'd move to a Bayshore condo with no yard to maintain.

What is your favorite thing about Tampa?

Family and friends.

What kinds of things are you involved in?

I am involved with a children's home in rural Honduras, first as a creative volunteer and now as a member of their US board of directors.

I'm involved in a development and fund raising capacity with Trinity Cafe which serves meals to the homeless and hungry in Tampa Bay.
