I knew immediatley he was a special man. We were married last summer. I have two beautiful and talented daughters, April Leigh and Heather Alise. April graduated from FSU with a BS in Education and from Nova Southeastern with a MS in Media Information.

Heather lives in Brandon with her husband, Ryan Miyamoto. Heather is an executive with Target Corporation and Ryan is an officer with Bank of America. Frank's son, Brian, teaches Language Arts at Adams Middle School. He lives in Land O Lakes with his wife, Melissa, who teaches Special Ed. Frank's daughter, Brooke, works for Ford Corporation and lives in Tampa with her husband, Johnny. Johnny works for Target Corporation. Both kids graduated from USF.
My Education:I started the family tradition by graduating from FSU with a BS in Education, majoring in Physical Education and Science and minoring in Health. I have a MS from Nova Southeastern in Administration and Supervision. I also carry a Real Estate License.
My Career:I have had so much fun playing in my life.

How I spend my free time:Frank and I have been spending a lot of time with our new granddaughter, Calin and plan to do more of the same when Frank's daughter, Brooke, has her child in November. We attend lots of sporting events. We have season tickets for the BUCS, the Lightening (if they ever play again), the Devil Rays (certain games), the University of Tennessee and FSU games.

He was Rookie of the Year for the Dolphins that year. After 5 seasons in the NFL he retired and began coaching at several universities. In the early 80s he coached Special Teams for the BUCS under John Mckay. Then he retired and began a third career as a Financial Planner for Principal Financial Group. (Updated 11/13/2017)
