Currently Broker/Owner and Partner/Manager of TURBOW REALTY, LLC located in Orlando, Florida.
In the Real Estate industry for over 10 years; 7 years as a Broker/Owner. Previously spent over 40 years in various capacities in the field of purchasing, retail buying, leasing, merchandise presentation, distribution, and contract administration for companies such as The Walt Disney Company for 25 years, retiring as a Vice President. In addition, spent 3 years at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas as President of MGM Grand Merchandising. Assisted in opening 2 new Ron Jon Surf Shops in Ft Lauderdale, Florida and Orange County, California.
Prior to and simultaneously with civilian occupations I spent 21 years in my beloved Marine Corps; was Active Regular Marine Corps for 8 years and 13 years in the Active Reserve concurrent with my Disney Employment. I joined the Marine Corps and left my hometown of Dothan, Alabama at the young age of 18, graduated from boot camp in September 1961, spent the first 2 ½ years of my Marine Career in the infantry at Camp Lejeune, NC participating in the planned but terminated Naval assault during the Cuban Missile Crisis. I reenlisted in July 1965, spent 1 year in New Orleans and received orders to Vietnam where I worked for the III MAF General Staff in DaNang from June 1967 to August 1968. A pretty safe place I thought until my replacement arrived and was KIA only 10 days later, which delayed my return to the USA by a month. When I returned to the USA, I served my last year of Active Duty as a Staff Sergeant with the U.S. Strike Command in Tampa, Florida, now known as the U.S. Central Command. Continuing my service in the Ready Marine Corps Reserve for 13 years, being promoted to the rank of First Sergeant before being selected for the Marine Warrant Officer program and retiring in 1982 as a Chief Warrant Officer-3.
