Donald (Brad) Williams:
Originally a New Englander, Brad’s first go round in Florida included working for the entertainment team at Walt Disney World. Later moving to Iowa, where he worked with Anna at a performing arts center, Brad then went back to his family’s truck driving roots working for both Schneider and Walmart. After ten years of driving commercial vehicles, two state truck driving competitions, one championship, and a million safe miles, he got a handle on his health, dropping 180 lbs. and left the relative insanity of New England traffic for the sunny vistas of Florida. Now living in the sunshine state for the second time, he reconnected with Anna and decided to leave the glamorous life of commercial truck driving behind to pursue a career as a financial advisor at Thrivent Financial.
Beyond home improvements, recreation and helping others live wise with money, Brad enjoys traveling and from time to time hauling a 30-foot travel trailer, you know, just to keep those truck driving skills sharp. He’s looking forward to exploring the rest America – the parts you can’t see from the Interstate.
Anna Williams:
Anna loves to travel both to new, exciting places and favorite past-time spots. Although a native of the Midwest, Anna’s a true Floridaphile and a bit of Disney fanatic. She loves to play travel planner for family and friends and continues to check off destinations on her bucket list (only five states to go!) For over two decades, she had a career in the performing arts, topping it off as the Executive Director of Thrasher-Horne Center, and now works as an entertainment ticketing consultant with FutureTix.
Thing One:
Thing One has an affinity for video games and driving his parents crazy as he enters his teenage year. He has been to half of the states in the U.S. as well as Canada, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Jamaica, the Bahamas, St. Thomas and St. Maarten.
