"I'm back in paradise!"

Al grew up fishing the Apalachicola River and playing on the shores of St. George Island. After traveling the globe during a twenty-year career as a Marine Corps aviator, Al returned to the only place he could ever call home.

He and his wife, Serena, have lovingly restored an old Victorian home featured on the Annual Tour of Historic Homes and can share a lot of knowledge about the history and architecture of the area, not to mention a few restoration tips.



Al’s passion for protecting the Forgotten Coast keeps him active in civic projects and events. He is currently dedicated to the preservation of the Apalachicola Municipal Airport. From Historic Apalachicola to the Plantation on St. George Island, Al knows Franklin & Gulf Counties like only a native could.
