🌺 GFI is back!
We had a blast at the Lakeland Chamber of Commerce Business Luau a couple of weeks ago hosted by Citizens Bank & Trust in downtown Lakeland — great food, local businesses, music, Hawaiian shirts, and even better people.
🤝 Got to reconnect with some familiar faces and meet a few new ones who we’re excited to collaborate with:
In the group photo from left to right
Braden Worrell from Monumental Productions — just did our new headshots (🔥 coming soon)
Myself, Matthew Raspopovich, VP @ George Franklin Insurance.
Damon Denis with Edward Jones — excited to talk financial strategy soon
Landon Schneider from Reed, Mawhinney & Link — estate planning wizard
📸 And shoutout to Monica DiNicolantonio, pictured w/ me in the 2nd photo, for serving as the Investor Engagement Manager at the Chamber, and for always bringing the positive energy!
👀 PS — whoever this hilarious girl is that hijacked my phone with a selfie before snapping our pic...you’re a legend 😂
We’re excited to start posting more, get involved in community events, and show what GFI is all about — helping our neighbors protect what matters 💼💙
