Who I am

I grew up in Eustis, attended Eustis public schools, and chose to raise my two children here. I am passionate about preserving the things that make Lake County such a special place to live.

I attended the University of Florida College of Law and have practiced land use and zoning law for over 30 years, so I am very familiar with the complex issues facing business and property owners in Lake County.

While serving as your County Commissioner, I have never made a decision for political points or to boost public perception. You can trust that I will carefully consider all parties involved and long term impacts when approaching each issue. I understand the importance of recognizing property rights and zoning entitlements (which protects Lake County from expensive lawsuits), while seeking to find solutions that protect surrounding landowners and address safety and infrastructure needs.

As your current Lake County Commissioner, I have

  • Voted against tax increases

  • Led the charge to protect rural lands from municipal annexation and zoning changes that allow high density subdivisions in rural areas

  • Supported our First Responders

  • Brought high wage jobs to Lake County

  • Fought for more funding from the Florida Department of Transportation for much needed improvements to State Roads in Lake County (e.g. SR 44B, US 441, US 27, Hwy 50, SR 19) and for County Roads that relieve pressure on State Roads (e.g. CR 44 from Eustis to Leesburg, CR 42).

  • Established our No Kill Animal Shelter
