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
