Certain Nobody Reads This
I was inspired 20+ years ago by reading a paddle blog about kayaking and camping around the entire state of Florida (sorta like the Appalachian Trail for kayaks). Now I’m going to try my hand at doing the exact same thing!

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s your favorite activity to do with the family?
That’s a tie. In football season, I love taking the girls to the games. We setup the tailgate with friends and Cheer for the Noles. The rest of the year, we frequent Disney World – now is the time to do it with kids at great ages for the fun!
What’s your favorite aspect of your career?
Strategic planning and execution. I’ve spent years in procurement, operations, and project management – all roles that allow a big picture view and lend themselves to strategic plan development.
What makes you think you can paddle all the way around the State of Florida?
Stupidity. I used to paddle every day for exercise, and I’ve camped my entire life from the Appalachian Trail to easy river trips – so I’m not completely unprepared for the journey.
Wait. You went to FSU and UF? How does that work?
It’s complicated. But I’m a Nole thru-and-thru. I hope they both do okay, as long as my Noles win our head-to-head matchups.
Does anyone actually read all this nonsense?
I didn’t think so… but here you are! Thanks!
