The areas I serve in Florida
Tallahassee is Florida’s capital city! It is known for its rolling red hills and beautiful canopied roads! A fun place for outdoor enthusiasts, it has 97 parks for walking and hiking, and is located only 30-60 minutes from the beaches and cold springs for swimming, sunbathing, and kayaking. Tallahassee also boasts 24 art galleries and 15 museums! It is a college town, home to lots of students and young professionals, and families. It has an active social scene and hosts numerous family friendly community events throughout the year.
Tallahassee combines all the advantages of a big city with all the community and charm of a small town, making it a fantastic place to live, work, and have fun!
