What is your role in Pasco County?

I am the Plant Manager at Lacoochee Elementary School.

What do you love about your job?

I love the little smiles, high fives, and" Mr. Lopey" hugs from the students. At Lacoochee we are a family!

Who or what inspires you?

My family inspires me! I am a former student of Lacoochee Elementary School. Dr. Renee Sedlack, former LES principal, has always inspired me to be the person I am today. My grandmother, who drove a school bus for thirty years, always pushed me to never give up and focus on my personal goals.

Tell us something unique that people may not know about you.

What people don't know about me is that I have a dream to create a Fishermen mentorship program for children.

The person who nominated Mr. Lopey shared, “He has great relationships with the students and knows each one by name.”
