of Directors and a former Board President of Twenty Six, Twenty Six Condominium.
He
is a sports fan and enjoys watching the Florida Gator Basketball and Football
teams. As co-owner of a car wash, he has enjoyed this venture, which is
quite different from the real estate field. However, his biggest pleasure
is being with his family and watching his children succeed in their careers.
"I
believe when choosing a career, choose one that you enjoy, then it is a
pleasure to go to work every day. I have been lucky in the careers that
I have chosen and my association with Peck Realty. I have been active in
the development and sales of condominiums, which I feel is a benefit to
my customers. Having a sense of humor is one of the most important assets
a person can have." |
