01 / MY STORY

Showing up is
where it starts.

A favorite family moment outdoors, wearing a cowboy hat and sharing a smile — Family at the heart of it all.

I’m Terry—a husband, father, volunteer, and neighbor who cares deeply about this community.

I love bringing people together around something meaningful—supporting local traditions, opening doors for young people, and helping neighbors find a place to get involved.

Around Plant City, you’ll find me helping organize community events, connecting local businesses with sponsorship opportunities, supporting young people, and working alongside volunteers. From an inclusive baseball day to a Christmas tradition, I enjoy the work that brings people together.

My Christian faith and family are central to my life. I’m part of First Baptist Church of Plant City, and I value the chance to turn those convictions into practical service.
