While growing up in Immokalee, in rural eastern Collier County, Zannon Garza saw her parents’ hard work, perseverance and ability to talk to customers, whether she was hanging out in the hair salon with her cosmetologist mom, Gloria, or riding along with her dad, Timothy, over the course of his 30 years driving a propane truck. And a lot of their skills rubbed off on her.

“I just love meeting people, and I always have,” says Garza. “Riding in an elevator is fun for me when there are people on board. I love learning people’s stories.”
