"My involvement with the Parkinson’s Association of Southwest Florida stemmed from my spouse, Sandra Geffert, being diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 2012. I began supporting the organization as a volunteer early in 2020 and was subsequently asked to join the Board of Directors. My mission in life is to contribute to the improvement of the level of care and services available to Parkinsonians living in Collier and Lee Counties."
