and specifically Las Olas were always my vacation
destinations, so I decided to make it my home. When you're not working, what's your
favorite diversion?
My favorite diversion has always been the water. Being only
a few steps from New River and less than
three miles to the ocean is the best
diversion I could have ever hoped for.

You could have set up shop
anywhere. Why did you choose
Las Olas?
Las Olas Boulevard is charming and has a
rich culture and history in our downtown
community. Being able to walk to so many
wonderful restaurants, shops, and nightlife
make it even more special. Why would I
want to work anywhere else?

special memory about the
boulevard?
My special memory about our boulevard
was being invited to join the Las Olas
Association and having that first meeting
to discuss the future of this growing and
thriving community. After meeting
Amber VanBuren and witnessing her
passion, I walked away knowing that
the only way to grow a community is to
support the community.
