I have been a resident of Lakeland since childhood, & I am still very proud to call this quaint town, “home.” Originally born in Bangkok, Thailand, my family & I immigrated to the United States in 1978. I graduated Lake Gibson High School in 1992. Go Braves!

Growing up an avid sports fan, I enjoy basketball, tennis & especially football. You’ll find me watching the Miami Dolphins game every weekend, willing them to a hopeful victory & with.. (Read More)

Growing up in brisk Newport News Virginia, it did not take me long to fall in love with Lakeland, its atmosphere, & its climate. After graduating high school, I decided to move to Lakeland to attend Southeastern University. At Southeastern, I earned degrees in Marketing, Communications, and Religious Studies. I would have to say playing “Powder Puff” flag football was one of my favorite memories at Southeastern University, however!

My wonderful husban.. (Read More)

Tennessee is known as the “Volunteer State,” and that fits me to a tee! I “volunteer” for everything.  My many interests include: tennis, jogging, biking, cooking, & photography. Growing up a child of the south in the shadow of the Great Smoky Mountains, I love the crisp mountain air, Country music, & good ole’ home cooking. On Saturdays in the Fall, you will find me rooting for my beloved University Of Tennessee Volunteers. “Good ole rocky top!” This isn’t always popular since .. (Read More)

Born and breed in Miami, I moved to Lakeland shortly after graduating Miami Killian High School in 1998.  Quite often I am asked if I miss Miami. My response? “It’s hard to miss anywhere once you live in Lakeland.”

I eventually decided to follow in the family footsteps and enrolled in the Police Academy at Polk Community College. After I graduated form the Academy, I went on to work as a Deputy Sheriff with the Polk County Sheriff’s Office for approximat.. (Read More)

I am a lifelong resident of Lakeland, graduating from Kathleen High School in 1989 and receiving a degree from Polk Community College. My wife, Jennifer, and I have two wonderful young children Tyler and Tayler. In our spare time, we enjoy taking trips to the beach, attending church, and going to local sporting events.

Cathy Oliver

Growing up in Key Biscayne, a small island south of Miami, my greatest joy in life has always been my family. Now the proud, doting grandmother to 6 (yes 6!) grandchildren, I am never lacking in baby-sitting privileges. No empty nest syndrome here!

I enjoy hiking, tennis, biking, skiing and all forms of outdoor sports and activities. Love to cook and garden as well. My husband and I travel to North Carolina each summer to visit family, hike, go white wate.. (Read More)

Schevy Pierre

Yes, it’s “Schevy”- like a truck!

Originally from the islands of Trinidad and Tobago, in the Caribbean, I moved to Polk County in 1993. I can usually be found curled up with a good book or writing prose on some controversial or interesting topic or another. I spend my time cooking, taking care of my “babies”- roses and herbs, or fishing with my husband.

I believe that home and family is the backbone of a fulfilled life, and.. (Read More)

Rusty Shinault

Born in South Haven, Michigan, on Thanksgiving Day of 1961, I graduated from Bangor High School, Bangor, Michigan in 1980. During my freshman year of High School, I made my first trip to Florida during Spring break. I knew immediately that I loved Florida, and all the terrific weather that came with it. January 1981 was when I made that leap of faith, and left the security of my family to start my own life and pave my own way. I landed in Lakeland, and have called Lakeland my ‘home’ eve..
