1. Those of you who know me realize I have close ties to the wedding and events industry. My wife and I were fortunate enough to sell our wedding business this past summer, but we continue to produce bridal shows in St Petersburg, FL under the name smpl.EVENTS. So if you're a wedding professional, or in any industry that markets to young engaged couples or newlyweds, then don't miss one of our upcoming shows!

2. Since we currently only produce four bridal shows per year, that has freed up time for my other passion, real estate investing and property management in St Petersburg, FL! As the Tampa Bay real estate market returns to normal, I'm looking for ways to help struggling homeowners sell their houses fast for cash, while also making the connection with other local investors looking to buy St Pete real estate at a discount.


Please let me know if you have any questions about either of these exciting new business ventures in St Pete!
