our management team

Butch Swank

CEO

Butch is a Florida native and a devoted family man who loves spending time with his wife and two children. His passions include cooking, emphasizing BBQ, butter, and pizza – not necessarily in that order. He is an avid athlete who loves biking, weightlifting, and swimming. He’s a bit of a science-fiction nerd who enjoys reading and loves laughing with family and friends.
The quality of our children’s education is a huge priority he believes is worth fighting for. As such, Butch has served as president of the Lehigh Elementary School Advisory Committee and partnered with Lehigh Elementary to establish a Watch D.O.G.S. program. He’s a founding member of the East Lee Education Cooperative, and the School Board of the Lee County School District selected him to serve on the district’s audit committee. (That’s a ton of fun!) Additionally, Butch is a member of the Horizon Council, which is an 85-member group focused on the support of all businesses in Southwest Florida. 🌊
