About Alan
Biography
I am a Florida native born in West Tampa in 1951. I graduated from Jesuit High School (Class of 1969) and then graduated in 1973 from the University of South Florida with a B.A. in business administration majoring in marketing. Thereafter, I graduated in 1977 from Samford University with an M.B.A. and from Cumberland School of Law at Samford University with the degree of Doctor of Jurisprudence. In 1978, I graduated from the University of Florida School of Law with an LL.M., Masters in Taxation. I am married with 3 children and 3 grandchildren. My law practice over the years has been primarily focused in the specialty areas of estate planning, probate and trust administration and a general business practice. I am a member at St. Andrew's Chapel in Sanford, FL.
