As a teenager growing up outside<br />
of Chicago, Rachel Lewe experienced<br />
bullying at school. To help<br />
combat the situation, her parents enrolled<br />
her in martial arts.<br />
“I started taekwondo the summer<br />
after my freshman year of high<br />
school,” Rachel said. “The irony of<br />
it is that I never told anyone I was<br />
involved in taekwondo, yet when<br />
I went back to school that fall,<br />

Perseverance Pays Off for Local Resident<br />
taekwondo,” she said. “I began<br />
training at Tiger Martial Arts with<br />
Master Chase Lee, who is one of<br />
www.SouthwestOrlandoBulletin.com x June 7 — 20, 2018 x 5<br />
by Karen Nimetz<br />
has incredible energy, dedication<br />
and a positive attitude.”<br />
Rachel, a Phillips Landing<br />
resident, next set her sights on<br />
earning a third-degree black belt.<br />
Unfortunately, she ended up needing<br />
back surgery for a herniated<br />
disc from injuries unrelated to taekwondo.<br />
Most people would give<br />
up martial arts after back surgery<br />
but not Rachel. She stayed focused<br />
while attending physical therapy,<br />
never letting the setback bring her<br />
down. Six months later, Rachel fell<br />
while ice-skating and fractured her<br />
skull. Once again, she remained<br />
optimistic as she healed physically.<br />
Her perseverance paid off, and in<br />
2016, she earned her third-degree<br />
black belt. Master Lee was so inspired<br />
by Rachel’s spirit and drive<br />
that he suggested she train to become<br />
a taekwondo master. Through<br />
her training regimen and tenacity,<br />
Rachel achieved the impressive rank<br />
of taekwondo master at the youthful<br />
age of 50.<br />
Rachel is already thinking about<br />
training for a fifth belt but for now<br />
is content sharing her love of martial<br />
arts with others.<br />
“Taekwondo is a great way for kids<br />
to learn how to handle themselves if<br />
they are being bullied and to give an<br />
outlet for those who are bullying to stop<br />
the negative behavior. The kids we<br />
train learn and value our tenets, which<br />
include courtesy, self-control, indomitable<br />
spirit, perseverance and integrity.”<br />
Rachel says she hopes to inspire<br />
others, especially women who may<br />
be too intimidated to try taekwondo.<br />
“The truth is, you don’t need to be<br />
strong or athletic. It’s really about<br />
proper technique, and anyone can<br />
master that. Everyone benefits from<br />
the confidence taekwondo brings.<br />
There is a saying, ‘A black belt is a<br />
white belt that never gave up.’ If I<br />
can do it, anybody can.” ª<br />
Phillips Landing resident Rachel Lewe (middle row, second from right) achieves<br />
the status of taekwondo master at the youthful age of 50.<br />
the bullying completely stopped,<br />
because I carried myself differently.”<br />
Rachel continued to study taekwondo<br />
in Illinois for many years.<br />
In 2000, she and her husband,<br />
John, moved to Orlando with their<br />
infant daughter, Kate. Rachel withdrew<br />
from taekwondo to focus on<br />
motherhood.<br />
“When Kate was 10 years<br />
old, I decided to get back into<br />
the top taekwondo masters in all of<br />
Florida. My intention was to get my<br />
first-degree black belt and then call<br />
it quits, but my love of the sport only<br />
grew stronger.”<br />
After earning her black belt in<br />
2011, Master Lee suggested Rachel<br />
train for her second-degree black<br />
belt and to become an instructor.<br />
“I saw leadership skills in Rachel<br />
right away,” Master Lee said. “She<br />

Many of us experience it on occasion.<br />
The dread of an upcoming<br />
dental appointment turning into outright<br />
fear as the day approaches.<br />
The horror scenarios keep replaying<br />
in your head when sitting in the<br />
dental office, waiting for your name<br />
to be called. Will that tooth in need<br />
of a filling have to be extracted<br />
instead? Will it hurt? What if the<br />
situation calls for a root canal?<br />
You get all worked up until you<br />
finally find yourself in the dentist’s<br />
chair, white knuckles gripping the<br />
arms, wondering what torture is yet<br />
to come.<br />
Visiting the dentist doesn’t have to<br />
be that way. It can actually be more<br />
like an eagerly anticipated visit to<br />
see a trusted family friend.<br />
Buena Vista Family Dentistry,<br />
home of one of Central Florida’s top<br />
dentists, Dr. Ximena Aldea, provides<br />
relaxed and comfortable services<br />
for families in Windermere,<br />

Bay Hill, Celebration, Orlando,<br />
Kissimmee and the surrounding<br />
areas.<br />
BUSINESS<br />
Every year since 2008, Dr. Aldea<br />
has been featured as one of Orlando<br />
magazine’s “Top Dentists as Rated<br />
by Their Peers.” The survey asks professional<br />
dental providers, “If you<br />
had a patient in need of a dentist, to<br />
whom would you refer him or her?”<br />
Dr. Aldea is at the top of the list for<br />
10 years running.<br />
She and her staff of four kind, caring<br />
professionals enjoy the full trust<br />
of their patients. One of the reasons<br />
for this recognition is attributed to<br />
Dr. Aldea’s gentle demeanor and<br />
approach that make families feel at<br />
ease.<br />
The testimonials abound, including<br />
“I used to dread going to the<br />
dentist. Before, I thought of it as being<br />
a painful visit. But, I have found<br />
that Dr. Aldea has always been<br />
very gentle, patient and thorough<br />

in explaining everything ... Because<br />
of that, my son is now seeing<br />
Dr. Aldea, as well.”<br />
When asked how Dr. Aldea accomplishes<br />
gaining her patients’<br />
trust and helping calm them down,<br />
Mari Poventud, practice administrator,<br />
replied, “She does it by listening,<br />
empathizing and explaining<br />
what needs to be done.”<br />
Dr. Aldea takes the time to answer<br />
all questions, and, as a result, “the<br />
patient becomes less anxious and<br />
apprehensive.”<br />
Dr. Aldea earned her Doctor<br />
of Dental Medicine at Nova<br />
Southeastern School of Dental<br />
Medicine in 2004. While pursuing<br />
advanced training, she worked<br />
in private practices in both Miami<br />
and Homestead before she and her<br />
husband relocated to the Orlando<br />
area in 2005. Dr. Aldea was born<br />
in Santiago, Chile, and she has lived<br />
in Uruguay and Argentina. She is<br />
fluent in Spanish and English.<br />
In 2017, Dr. Aldea opened her own<br />
practice in Buena Vista Commons,<br />
part of a suburban community near<br />
Disney Springs. The practice is part<br />
of a PPO health insurance network<br />
carried by Disney and Universal<br />
employees. It is a small, familyoriented<br />
office with a soothing<br />
atmosphere.<br />
Dr. Aldea specializes in many<br />
aspects of professional dentistry,<br />
Dr. Ximena Aldea of Buena Vista<br />
Family Dentistry helps patients feel at<br />
ease.<br />
including cosmetic dentistry (Invisalign<br />
clear braces), teeth restoration<br />
(crowns, inlays, onlays), implant replacement,<br />
root canal therapy, tooth<br />
filling and preventative measures<br />
(mouthguards for sports and sleeping).<br />
Dr. Aldea delights in providing<br />
all aspects of general dentistry but<br />
particularly those that return the confidence<br />
and health to her patients’<br />
smiles and quality of lives.<br />
The practice’s motto is, “We<br />
believe you are not fully dressed<br />
without your smile. And a smile<br />
is the most beautiful thing you<br />
can wear.”<br />

The key to Kerry Hall’s success is her ability to understand her clients’<br />
needs and build lasting relationships. While she is a strong negotiator and<br />
advocate for her clients, she is also very compassionate and friendly, which<br />
helps ease an often-stressful process. Prior to entering real estate, Kerry enjoyed<br />
a career in aviation on both the flight attendant and crew planning<br />
sides of the industry. Her comfort level spans serving everyone from high-profile<br />
corporate clients to individuals and families looking to find their perfect<br />
homes.<br />

Fixed indexed annuities may not be suitable for all. To help determine if an annuity meets your unique financial situation and liquidity needs, consult a<br />
licensed insurance agent. In addition, please thoroughly review all marketing materials, specimen contracts and riders, buyer’s guides, and forms<br />
related to the annuity for costs and important details. Insurance agents do not give investment, legal, or tax advice. Annuities held within qualified<br />
plans do not provide any additional tax benefits. Withdrawals may be subject to income tax, and a 10% federal income tax penalty may apply to<br />
withdrawals taken before age 59½. Additionally, surrender charges and a market value adjustment may apply if you withdraw more than the<br />
penalty-free amount in a year. Fixed indexed annuities guarantee a minimum interest rate on all or a percentage of each contribution over the life of<br />
your contract, less any withdrawals and/or deductions and early surrender charges. Guarantees are based on the claims-paying ability of the insurer.

In life, you question everything. The<br />
same should be true when it comes<br />
to managing your wealth. Do you<br />
know what your broker is basing<br />
their recommendations on? Do they<br />
stand by their word? Do you know<br />
how much you’re paying in fees? And<br />
how those fees affect your returns?<br />

Ron the Realtor<br />
The Harder You Work, The Luckier You Get<br />
When it comes to real estate in<br />
Southwest Orlando, one name comes to<br />
the top of everyone’s mind — Ronald<br />
Ziolkowski. Just kidding; most cannot<br />
say, let alone spell, his name. That<br />
is why everyone knows him as Ron<br />
the Realtor. RTR has been helping<br />
families in the area for more than 20<br />
years, selling an unheard of more than<br />
$400,000,000 in closed sales. In 2017,<br />
he finished as the No. 1 Re/Max Realtor<br />
in the state of Florida, selling $65 million<br />
and 168 homes in 2017 alone —<br />
that is one home every other day!<br />
What makes this even more remarkable<br />
is that Ron the Realtor does all this<br />
by himself — no team, no assistants,<br />
no buyer’s agents or transaction coordinators.<br />
Ron handles every aspect of<br />
his clients’ transactions. He also represents<br />
buyers and sellers, making the<br />
accomplishment even more astounding.<br />
By working with both buyers and sellers,<br />
Ron has his finger on the pulse of<br />
the local market, and his clients benefit<br />
greatly from it every time.<br />
When asked how he accomplishes<br />
these unheard of numbers, without delay,<br />
Ron said, “The harder you work,<br />
the luckier you get. I am the embodiment<br />
of the American dream. Ironically<br />
selling, well, the American dream: home<br />
ownership.<br />
“I contribute and track my success<br />
one satisfied client at a time. When<br />
someone allows me the honor of representing<br />
them, I take it very seriously.<br />
I work tirelessly to ensure all their goals<br />
are exceeded on every level. By doing<br />
so, I hopefully earn another client for<br />
life.”<br />
Clients for life is what Ron strives<br />
for and obtains on every transaction<br />
he does. Whether it is closing another<br />
record sale, winning a multiple offer<br />
situation for a buyer, or just advising<br />
on the perfect area for a buyer’s<br />
budget, Ron is accessible to his clients.<br />
“There is no such thing as after hours<br />
with RTR,” he said.<br />
His clients love him for his direct nononsense<br />
approach, delivering accurate<br />
advice without sugarcoating anything,<br />
so they can make informed decisions on<br />
their largest assets with confidence. Ron<br />
the Realtor ensures his clients are the<br />
best informed in the marketplace.<br />
Born and raised in Buffalo, New York,<br />
during the downturn of the steel industry<br />
and in a single-parent household, Ron<br />
had to fight for everything he has had<br />
from an early age.<br />
“With hard work, you can achieve<br />
anything you want,” he said.<br />
Ron started his working career in local<br />
restaurants, washing dishes and bussing<br />
tables at a very young age. He<br />
also worked several jobs while putting<br />
himself through college.<br />
Keeping true to the saying “Behind<br />
every successful man is an even stronger<br />
woman,” Ron gives all the credit<br />
for his ability to devote so much to his<br />
clients and his business to his wife of<br />
PROMOTIONAL FEATURE<br />
19 years, Kathy, who is the driving<br />
force of their family of three children —<br />
Evan, 17; Kaitlyn, 15; and Owen,<br />
13. The couple met while working at the<br />
same restaurant in Buffalo, but what is<br />
fascinating is that they went to the same<br />
small high school. Kathy graduated a<br />
year prior, yet they never knew each<br />
other until Ron took that job.<br />
“Without Kathy, I could never be the<br />
Realtor I am for my clients,” Ron said.<br />
“My children and my wife are so understanding,<br />
they always take the backseat<br />
to my business. My family is remarkable<br />
for what they put up with.”<br />
Another fact about Ron the Realtor<br />
many may or may not know is that no<br />
one in America sells more homes in<br />
Winter Garden (zip code 34787)<br />
than RTR. This has been the case for<br />
well over the past decade. RTR was<br />
also recently voted a Best of Southwest<br />
tonyrappa@capturevideo-photo.com<br />
Realtor for the third time in the Southwest<br />
Orlando Bulletin.<br />
These impressive accomplishments<br />
were not made by selling multimillion<br />
dollar homes.<br />
“I’m a blue-collar Realtor,” Ron said.<br />
“My average sales price in 2017 was<br />
$368,000. I sell these homes as if they<br />
are $2 million homes. I love fighting for<br />
the working family, fighting for every<br />
dollar. I give my clients top-of-the-line<br />
marketing, including their own personal<br />
websites and videos typically reserved<br />
for higher-end homes. This in turn<br />
achieves top dollar for my sellers every<br />
single time.”<br />
Whether you are looking to buy or<br />
sell a home, Ron the Realtor can help.<br />

“In my 15 years as Mayor, never<br />

Mayor Bruhn said. “They tried to legislate<br />

our local elections, and even tell us what<br />
