I was born in Connecticut and lived there until high school graduation. Moved to Vero Beach, Florida and attended IRCC and subsequently obtained my BA degree cumlaude from UCF in Orlando, and J.D. degree from NOVA Law School in Ft. Lauderdale graduating in 1990. I was subsequently hired with the State of Florida Department of Transportation in the Eminent Domain department. I enjoy visiting historical places, fishing, camping and spending time with family and friends.
