Simply put, I love to HELP others. I have a cheerleading mindset and a passion to serve. That\u2019s been the common thread throughout my careers in teaching, packaging sales and now working with seniors and their families. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Seventeen years ago, we made a decision to support my wife Carol\u2019s parents, by relocating to Florida from Connecticut that led to giving them an additional nine years of an engaging, thriving life. That time I spent with them set the stage for where I am now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before relocating to Jacksonville, I taught high school science in Norwalk, CT and District wide in all subjects, working with students who were marginalized because of poor choices and behavioral issues. Locally, I taught at Mandarin High School with outdoor field students. Many of my students were not familiar with the outdoors. It was a great experience for them to enjoy fresh air. Today, one of my favorite students, Sage, is the manager of the Metro Diner in Ponte Vedra Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That \u201cInternship of Service\u201d continues to inspire me as I work with seniors and their families in finding ways to age gracefully with dignity.<\/p>\n\n\n

In addition to my affiliation with Oasis Senior Advisors<\/a> in service to older adults and their families, I signed on with the Jacksonville Walk to End Alzheimer\u2019s as the volunteer Community Engagement Chair with a goal of reaching $500K in donations this year. I believe this can be done, in part, by me helping others build their teams and cheering them on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2024 is going to be monumental!   <\/p>\n\n\n\n
