'Reluctant Tampa celebrity' Blake Casper is all-in on the way to $100M

There are few things, if any, Tampa businessman, philanthropist and hospitality entrepreneur Blake Casper — some call him a reluctant Tampa celebrity — does half speed. 

He loves to ski. And when he does, he flies to Chile in the Florida summer for the South American winter. Or he goes to his beloved Aspen, where he heads straight for the black diamond runs. “There are no blues for him,” his sister and business partner Allison Casper Adams says, referring to more medium skiing slopes. A Feb. 21, 2020 photo on Blake Casper’s Instagram account shows a grinning Blake in Aspen in front of a sign that, next to a photo of a skull and bones, says “This is your decision point: Backcountry risks include death.”
