He has served as a lead mentor with the Bulls Business Community and has participated in several philanthropic projects, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for organizations such as Service for Sight, the Humane Society of Tampa Bay, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, Junior Achievement and Big Brothers Big Sisters.
I once watched this man eat an entire 7 on 7 in 15 minutes guys. That’s 7 patties, 7 American cheese slices, bread, sauce, and assorted vegetables. It’s a feat that deserves RESPECT.
He’s one of the most upstanding, intelligent, and accomplished people I know. I’m proud to call him a friend.
Hey moderator, delete this one. You did not give me this power.
Great guy
Very good man
