I have known Weston for 14 years. When he moved in next door he was a toddler. It has been a joy to watch him grow into a respectful and responsible young man. Throughout the years, he has been involved in various activities in and out of the Seminole County school system.This has provided him the opportunity to meet various students and leaders in our community. He has had close family ties with Winter Springs all of his life not only with his immediate family residing here, but he has additional family ties to the area as well. With this long history of residing here in Winter Springs, he is well aware of various changes in our community. I think he would be a good advocate and representative of his age group.
