I am a recovering/retired attorney. Most of my career was spent in-house with hospital systems, including 12 years at Shands. I’m enjoying spending my time outside, fishing and hiking, and puttering around the house, yard, and Grow Hub. There’s always plenty to do. I worked with the other original board members to form Grow Hub in 2015.  Our mission was to create a place where adults with disabilities would be welcome to work and to show the valuable contributions they can make to the community. We have gone from “let’s give it a try”, to “this might really work”, to “we need to expand”. It has been an amazing trip. Caitlin is my daughter and a Grow Hub employee. To have found a place where she can have a paying job and be accepted and welcomed just as she is simply blows me away.
