For most of that time, my consulting business kept me out of town for extended periods. I have recently reduced my business obligations and would like to contribute some of my time, skills and experience to the community. Many of the facets ofHfe in Key West, that drew my wife and I to the city, are the direct or indirect outgrowth of tourism. The ongoing debates about the shape and benefits of Key West tourism have the potential to significantly alter the community. DAC membership would allow me to use my business experience, communications skills and local involvements to support both the perception and reality of the value of tourism to Key West.
