About Lisa
Biography
I am very active in our community, serving on numerous boards. I am a past chair of the board for the Greater Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce, and serve as a Life Director there. I am a past president and Woman of the Year for the Emerald Coast Chapter of ABWA. Most recently I served as the President of Impact 100 NWFL, a non-profit that raises money to provide grants to other local non-profits. I am a founding board member of Community Solutions of the Emerald Coast which operates One Hopeful Place, which currently serves as a homeless shelter for men, but will expand to include a shelter for women in by 2020. Additionally, I am active in our local bar association and am the past Chairman of Committee B, First Circuit Unlicensed Practice of Law Committee.
I love spending time with my husband and other family, especially my three precious grandchildren. I enjoy anything anything outdoors, including going to the beach, boating, and motorcycle riding. I also love to read and cook.
