What do you enjoy most about South Lake County?
Being close enough to big cities to access everything they have to offer but being able to come back home where it's a little quieter and more calm.
If you had to summarize your philosophy of life in one sentence, what would it be?
Live and let live.
Name a person or incident you've come across recently that's touched you in some way. Why did this person or incident impress you so much?
My 3-year-old daughter, Mila. She makes me want to be a better person everyday.
How does what you do contribute to the welfare of the area?
I love sharing my musical abilities with others. I've had one of my students go on to play in the U.S. Air Force Band. Another got a full four-year scholarship to continue studying music further at the collegiate level. It is very gratifying.
What's something you've always wanted to do but haven't yet?
Thwart a crime.
What advice would you give to people who want to help out in the community?
Accept others for who they are; inspire people to do great things; and for the love of God, start using your turn signal!
