Born and raised in Daytona Beach, Florida, Michael has called Gainesville home for the past 23 years. After earning a bachelor's degree, he moved to Gainesville to start a business with his father. Over the next 18 years, they built a multi-unit restaurant operation in Gainesville and Orlando, managing every aspect from blueprint to turnkey. As the owner/operator, he oversaw daily operations, staff development, forecasting, vendor relations, compliance, and profit/loss management. After nearly two decades, he sold the business, and the sales and acquisition process sparked his passion for helping other business owners navigate similar transitions. This led him to obtain a real estate license and join the same local business brokerage firm that assisted him as a client.
In addition to his business expertise, [Name] is deeply passionate about international missionary work. He has led teams to Kenya and the far west basin of the Amazon River in Brazil and serves as the director of operations for Amazon Vision Ministries, a non-profit missions organization. He also holds a master's degree in theological studies from the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.
Family is a top priority for Michael. His wife, Melissa, is a director at the University of Florida, and their four children attend Countryside Christian School. They enjoy spending time together at sports games, school activities, and beach outings

I was born in Canada, raised in Michigan, and “transplanted” to Florida! My first New Year’s Day in Florida (1968), I was at the beach – YES! This is for me! My life has taken me to Texas and Germany, having been a military spouse. I moved to Gainesville in 2023 to be near my son, Randy. He is a special needs person, and we enjoy many hours of activities together-especially the Special Olympics. I also have two stepsons in Michigan (Kenny and Jason), seven grandchildren, and two great-grands – twins! I like to read (Cozy Mysteries) and spend time with my jet black ‘feline kids’ - Etta James and Miles Davis. Having lived through the “60’s,” I still enjoy that music, as well as the occasional Herb Alpert and Beethoven. I am also very active and involved in my church and its programs.
I earned my BA in 1987 at Grand Rapids Baptist College in Michigan. After working for years in office management, I moved into education. I then earned my MAEd in Education, focusing on community and family. During that time, I moved into preschool directorship, which renewed my interest in the business venue. I then proceeded to earn my MBA with focusing on Human Resources. For the last ten-plus years, I have been involved in Property Management in both Michigan and Florida. This has included multi-family, retirement communities, and others.
I am greatly enjoying my job here with Pepine, where my expectations of honesty, integrity, and compassion are a priority. I am looking forward to what is ahead with the company. I have found the team here to be friendly, expert, and focused on a positive and productive future for all.

Alexis is excited to be part of a growing company that prioritizes excellence and looks forward to contributing her skills and expertise to the team.
I was raised in the Southwest and grew up campaigning horses in hunter/jumper competitions nationally. I first moved to Ocala in 1993 and fell in love with the beautiful horse farms. I continued to travel the country competing until my son was born in 2011. I then started my path to becoming a Property Manager.
Along the way, I worked as a business manager for several large FL companies. Then I got the opportunity to work with the best marketing teams here in Gainesville where I first met Betsy Pepine. I then decided I absolutely HAD to join her team one day. Most recently, I worked at Big Lick Stall Rental as their business and property manager. Big Lick is Florida’s best public racehorse training facility and combined my love of horses, business, and property management.
I absolutely love my job as Property Manager at Pepine and am VERY happy to be back. I always try to leave a positive impact on those around me. Property Management allows me to meet amazing clients and residents. Owners at Pepine can be confident they will always get the best from our TEAM. Our residents know they can depend on us to be there for them and treat them with respect and care. I look forward to helping our owners grow their real estate portfolio.
