relative to protecting the shoreline. As a result, the Village has pursued all options –
engineering, legal, legislative, privately funded projects. In addition, the shoreline has
suffered natural erosion from recent hurricanes. At present, our efforts are realized as the
Corps is spending $16M to move 1.8 M cubic yards of sand for placement on our
beaches, while we are working through FEMA to repair portions of our engineered beach
that was damaged by Sandy last year.
Wastewater Treatment: We are in the process of both expanding capacity and improving
the quality of effluent from our wastewater treatment plant. The biggest immediate
challenge is to implement upgrades that will produce reuse quality effluent. We are still
in the permitting stage of the process, but are very pleased that our golf course has joined
the effort and will be reusing the water for irrigation.
Aging Buildings: The Village has need for a new Public Safety facility and a new
Village Hall. We have had to defer these needs in favor of more pressing priorities.
MANAGEMENT STYLE & EXPERIENCE
Why are you interested in Satellite Beach?
After 14 years of living and working at the beach I consider myself a Beach manager. I
love all the things that Satellite Beach has to offer. It really plays to my strengths in
Emergency Management and Growth Opportunities with a tourism focus. I believe that
Satellite Beach is a great fit for myself and my wife as it is close to the military and
Disney World, and is a warm weather climate. I believe that being the Satellite Beach
Manager meets my ultimate goal.
Management style:
Staff perception: At our 2012 Holiday Party, my department heads worked together and
did a “roast” of me as part of the entertainment. The presentation was fun and was an
interesting look, for me, into how my staff sees me. I was humbled that they felt safe
enough to make fun of the “boss.” In addition, I found it interesting that they highlighted
the fact that I delegate well and give them plenty of latitude to run their own departments.
I also noticed that they appreciated my efforts to support them outside of work.
Elected Officials: I just completed my annual review with Council and was pleased that
they agree that my key strengths are in strategic planning, project management and
budgeting. Generally I have a strong relationship with our Mayor and Council members.
On some issues, we disagree about the level of involvement Council should take, but we
enjoy a high level of agreement on overall strategy.
