As a ambitious kid in Highschool, I worked at night while I attended highschool during the day. Also worked weekends with my folks at our little mom and pop place called JJs on 40th Street and Busch. That's right - that was me who waited on you and your parents and friends and all the folks from Pepsi and Busch Gardens! We had the best spaghetti and real Cuban sandwiches and you all ate them up!
I left home at 17, began my legal career downtown and put myself through college, graduate school, law school. I retired as an Assistant State Attorney and continue work as a Tampa &. Sarasota Attorney/Manager of Two Real Estate Offices with Century 21 Beggins. I try to encourage kids that started out the way I did - to push themselves harder to achieve their goals. Kids that get into trouble I help them and families with legal issues.
