A proud graduate of Georgetown College, I played college football for Georgetown, where I served as the team captain and later transitioned to coaching after graduation. In 1990, I embarked on a career with Cintas as a management trainee, quickly rising through the ranks to become the General Manager responsible for opening the Jacksonville, Florida location. During my tenure at Cintas, I earned numerous accolades, including multiple Roundtable awards as General Manager. After 20 successful years, I left Cintas in 2010 to pursue a new venture with my business partner, Steve Howerton.
Together, Steve and I purchased City Wide Facility Solutions of Tampa Bay, opening its 25th location. Since then, we have grown the business from zero revenue to over $40 million. Our ambitious goal is to reach $100 million in revenue by 2034. In 2018, we expanded our operations by acquiring City Wide of Miami. Under our leadership, City Wide of Tampa Bay has become the largest location among more than 100 nationwide. I have been actively involved in the Franchise Advisory Council for over six years, serving as its president, and have participated in a performance group for over a decade. Our achievements have been recognized with numerous awards, including City Wide Franchise of the Year, Platinum Club, Chairman’s Club, and International Franchise of the Year.
