MEET HENRY
Hi, I'm Henry, a third-generation Polk Countian. Raised in this wonderful community, I've seen its unique blend of tradition and progress firsthand. My wife Amber and our three children, Henry, Leo, and Claire, share in my dedication to preserving our thriving and beautiful county for the future.
I began my education at Polk State College and completed my degree in Criminology at the University of South Florida. This led to my career in entrepreneurship, as a local business owner contributing to our economy and fostering community relationships.
I currently sit on the Board of Directors for Habitat for Humanity and am a member of the Lakeland Kiwanis Club.
I firmly believe that by prioritizing our community and working together, we have limitless potential for growth, unity, and prosperity, shaping the future of our county.
