Proudest achievement: The Path of Being has recently opened a retail space located on Marinatown Lane, in North Fort Myers.

Most frequented healthy food restaurants: Living Vine, in Fort Myers, and Food & Thought, in Naples.

How I support my community: By staying informed and being involved in local issues.
