Executive: Timothy Cartwright, chairman of the Tamiami Angel Funds and partner of Fifth Avenue Family Office, a financial consultant office in Naples. At Fifth Avenue, Cartwright is focused on venture capital, private equity and mergers and acquisitions.

Diversion: Visiting springs all over Florida, though the majority, he says, are along and north of the Interstate 4 corridor.

When he moved to Florida in 2002 from Avon Lake, Ohio, he didn’t know anything about the Florida springs. He especially didn’t know there were so many — roughly 700 natural springs.
