I attended high school in Fort Lauderdale and earned my first undergraduate degree here, as well. I saw so much growth and positive change during that time — so much of it along the Riverwalk and downtown. 

So upon returning to Fort Lauderdale after many years of life and career in different U.S. metro areas, it was a natural fit for me to become involved with Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale, an organization that has led or supported so many of these positive changes throughout its history. What I didn’t realize when I first became involved a few years ago is just how incredible the people of the Riverwalk community truly are.

Florida’s recent growth — and particularly that of our hometown — has been tremendous, thanks to the quality of life our hometown offers. From our bustling downtown to luxurious Las Olas Boulevard, and from the relaxing New River to the beach, one would be hard-pressed to find a city of comparable size with such a wealth of amenities and entertainment. I am proud to call myself a native and grateful to be involved in helping to shape the Fort Lauderdale of the future as a part of the Riverwalk and Greater Fort Lauderdale communities. Join us and get involved!
