I never went to college. I went to work — built a company, made payroll, raised a family right here in Pinellas.
Now my son Carlo is pulling on a pair of work gloves of his own, training to be an electrician.
That's why I fought for millions in trades training and school apprenticeships, and why I've worked to make hands-on experience count as much as a degree. Every kid should get to choose the path that's right for them.
