“
I get very excited when I think of the possibility of having
an opportunity to be a part of a team that actually builds the
New St. Petersburg Pier. This project will be a historical event and
enhancement for our city. The city where I was born and raised and
lived most of my life. The city where I spent many days of my life
as a youth and adult going to the pier to swim, fish, eat food and
ice cream or just sit and watch the beautiful view of our bay. I am
excited about the new design and the new benefits it will bring
to our city. I have been privileged to start a church here in this city,
where I have pastored for 24 years. I have also been privileged to
start and operate my construction and remodeling business here
for the past 16 years. Often as I ride through the city I see many
projects and homes that I have either built or remodeled. It gives me
a great sense of pride knowing that I participated in some small way
in building this city. I can only imagine the pride and great honor it
would be to ride out to a new pier and know that as a native of this
city, I played a part in making this beautiful landmark happen.
