Stepping onto my fruit farm, I’m reminded of the journey that brought me here. From the city streets of New York to the fertile lands of Florida, the transformation has been nothing short of Incredible.
In 2008, a frozen shoulder threatened my tennis career, pushing me to seek alternative solutions. The result? A dive into Dr. Doug Graham’s 80 10 10 diet, an overnight shift from fast food to nature’s best.
Today, my property boasts around 60 fruit trees, each one a testament to nature’s resilience. Avocado, mango, sapodia, and sugar apple trees flourish, a thriving orchestra of life.
Tending to them is a labor of love, a dance with nature that feeds not just me, but the creatures that call this orchard home.

Amongst this bounty stands a lychee tree, offering glimpses of sweet treasures yet to come.
