What is your hometown, what brought you to the 

Pensacola area, and how long have you been here?

I was born in Birmingham, AL, but raised in St. Louis, MO. 

I joined the U.S. Air Force in 1992 and was stationed in 

Pensacola from 2002 to 2006. My wife Patty and I had a home 

built here after we lost everything in Hurricane Ivan and just 

retired back into our home after my 20 years of service was 

complete.

What is your profession and give a brief description of 

what you do.

I am an Owner/Partner for CitySpree Restaurant Delivery 

Service. We partner with local restaurants and broker deliveries 

from those restaurants to customers from offi ces to homes 

all over the Greater Pensacola Area, including Pace/Milton, 

Gulf Breeze (to the zoo), Cantonment, Beulah, Pensacola 

Beach, and more. Our second business is The Organization 

of Networking Entrepreneurs, which is a network that 

facilitates relationships between businesses, which in turn, 

results in shared customers via referrals.  The third business 

I am a partner of is RentRnet, which is a peer-to-peer rental 

company, such as AirBnB, but for anything you own! I’m 

also the Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Pensacola 

Beach Chamber of Commerce

What led you to choose this profession?

My wife, Patty, was a General Manager for a similar type of 

company while I was still active duty. She became a subject 

matter expert in the delivery fi eld, so I think it was meant to be 

that we retire to Pensacola and start our own company such as 

CitySpree.

What do you like best about Pensacola? What makes 

it so unique?

There is always something happening in Pensacola. There is 

always someone to hang out with, always something to do, and 

never a boring moment! From parades to the beach, this is our 

slice of paradise and my family and I love it here.

Three words that best describe you. 

Motivated, Energetic, Leader

Favorite Things you like about Pensacola. 

Best beach! All sports are covered here! The people are great 

and night life is awesome. The military presence makes our 

culture not only diverse, but exciting! There are lots of events 

and the local community cares about each other and everyone 

is always willing to help a worthy cause! What is not to like 

about Pensacola???

I AM PENSACOLA because… 

 

Pensacola welcomed my family with open arms, so I will 

always do whatever I can to take care of Pensacola in return!

I AM PENSACOLA
