The Small Business Council of the St. Johns County Chamber of Commerce promotes small businesses throughout the county and provides them a resource for the issues they face such as insurance, business banking & lending, legal and marketing. The Council focuses on increasing commerce, education for business owners as well as opportunities to network. It is a cross between an “industry/topic” council and a peer group, which speaks to our strategic plan.

Coconut Barrel, NULL
The last 30 years I spent in the corporate world prepared me in so many ways for my next adventure. I always dreamed of opening a business which could in some way serve the community. Praying for such direction, I received a clear vision in 2018 to open a craft mall which is when Coconut Barrel "The Artisan Market" was born. In the 2 years we have been open, we have expanded from 4,000 to 9,000 sq. ft., added a weekly farmers market and a food truck park for Food Trucks to serve lunch. We also have craft classes, pop-up boutiques and other events throughout the year.

Clear View Coaching LLC, Strategic Life and Leadership Coach
After 35 years of leadership in banks and credit unions I've embarked on a long time dream to begin my own coaching practice, Clear View Coaching. I am passionate about this new venture, and find it closely related to my previous experience and studies.
Coaching people is what leaders do, and I now utilize numerous years of experience coaching employees and financial clients on Career, Money and Life along with my passion to help others with these topics and more! My Dynamic program offers an opportunity to help you Slow Down, Gain Clarity and Create a Strategic Life Plan to enable you to Live your Best Life and Be your Best Self. Let's face it, we plan our career, our exercise routine, our vacation, but what about the totality of our Life?
