Michael's Story
Hey guys,,
I guess that at 50+ we now have to admit to being "Middle Aged". Been around the block more than a few times.
I had already decided while in High School that I wanted to live where it is warm year around. As a golfer and tennis player, that would allow me to enjoy my hobbies all year long. Upon graduating from ASU, I took a job as a Commercial Real Estate Agent in Dallas, TX. 3 years later I was married and 16 months after that, I was a father. I changed employers a couple of times and had a 2nd daughter 5 years later, In 1996 I was divorced and moved to Boca Raton, FL to be near my parents and grandmother, and to escape the clutches of an ex-wife-turned-lune. Yes, I know that sounds harsh and negative, but in this case, a few years later, she actually committed herself for 6 months.
In South Florida I found a job with a homebuilder, went on a seemingly endless loop of blind dates and singles events. I joined the Jewish Community Center and became active playing tennis there, where I met a dozen or so people who have become good friends. One of those is a teacher who set me up on a blind date with a student's mom, Robin. We hit it off and have been together for 11 years now. This past December, we FINALLY got married.

girls are 26 and 20. Her 2 sons are 21 and 16. Thank goodness, they all get together and actually behave like brothers and sisters.
Sara, the eldest, graduated from American University in DC, with a masters in education of children with learning differences. She teaches 3rd grade at The June Shelton School in Dallas. Emmily is attending Full Sail University in Orlando and majoring in Music Business Management. I think she wants to be the next Simon Cowell. Seth, Robin's older son, goes to UCF in Orlando, which conveniently is only about 10 minutes from Full Sail. His major is Stage Management. This gives us an excuse to drive up to Orlando each semester to see both kids under the guise of wanting to see Seth's play or musical production. The youngest, Drew, is a Junior at West Boca High in the medical academy. His intention is to go into sports medicine.
I started my own real estate company 8 years ago. Robin has been a Controller for various companies, a business teacher, and is currently working in an accounting office. She is Quickbooks certified. So, she has a side business doing bookkeeping and Quickbooks training/consulting.
Please feel free to look me up on Facebook, Plaxo or LinkedIn. And, by all means, give a call if you are coming to South Florida.
