MEET A FATHER WHO LOVES HIS FAMILY AND HIS COMMUNITY “I enjoy spending time with my family in our new home and playing in the huge back yard with my boys.”

I’m a husband and father to two boys living in Cape Coral. My wife and I were expanding our family and wanted a bigger home, Mortgage 1 made everything so easy and everyone was so helpful. My experience with Mortgage 1 was nothing less than excellent. Cape Coral has been our home for a few years and we can’t explain how much we love it here, knowing our kids will grow up in this city and going to great charter schools or graduating is a big accomplishment. My plan is to show my kids hard work and dedication can come a long way no matter the age you can always achieve anything if you put your mind to it. Growing up in Cuba and arriving in this great country, where anything is possible, is something I never take granted we are truly blessed, humbled, and living the American dream THANKS TO MORTGAGE 1!

— Jose Ramos

As a lifelong Florida resident, I have spent almost thirty years helping all types of people become homeowners. The gratitude that my clients have shown me is my greatest reward.

Dear Gents,

Gregory Wagner

WE TOLD YOU YOUR TIME WOULD COME, DIDN’T WE, GUYS? Since the May issue was all about the ladies, we thought it was only fair the June issue of Cape Coral Lifestyle be dedicated to the gents of our community.

While we will celebrate the dads in our lives on Father’s Day, June 17, you don’t have to be a father to find something you’ll enjoy in these pages.

Now that you’ve met the female movers and shakers of the community, we’ll introduce you to some influential men in this month’s feature. Learn about what makes them unique and how they’re impacting the community. If you haven’t already, you’ll probably run into one—or several—of them out on the town!

Preparing for a night out with the guys? We’ll show you the perfect places in the community to grab a drink, watch the big game or just catch up with pals. If you’d

rather stay in, we provide you the perfect recipe to whip up. It’s guaranteed to impress—did we mention it’s easy?

LAYOUT DESIGNERS

We also introduce you to a local duo who share their favorite things with us.

Finally, we put a spotlight on men’s health. It’s been months since many of us made New Year’s resolution to focus on our health and now’s the perfect time for a check-in.

Happy Father’s Day and happy June, gents.

Even as a relative newcomer to Southwest Florida, Chris Shaw is already a recognizable face as a morning anchor on Fox 4 News. He decided to go into journalism once he realized he’d probably never be a professional baseball player— when he was in sixth grade. That early career decision was obviously a good one!

Although he wakes up at 2:30 a.m. most mornings, Chris really enjoys exploring the Cape’s parks, bike paths and restaurants. Chris and his family love living in Southwest Florida and look forward to making many more memories here.

Pat was masterful when it came to pricing our home and eventually he got the price we wanted. Pat is not over-barring and is excellent to work with. His knowledge of the area, of the surrounding homes and the community is what made Pat top notch when it came to selling our home.

“The HeartFlow Analysis showed me a picture of my arteries and blockage inside my arteries and made me realize this was an issue I needed to take care of. Without HeartFlow I’m not sure I’d be standing here today.”

The HeartFlow Analysis available exclusively at Radiology Regional Center WHAT IS HEARTFLOW ANALYSIS? The HeartFlow Analysis is an advanced test that assesses coronary artery disease. It shows how each blockage impacts blood flow to your heart.

– Stephen B.

• Greatly reduces unnecessary invasive testing • Effective at excluding false positive and false negative stress tests • Improves patient quality of life with more accurate diagnosis

Stephen jogged regularly and noticed it was becoming harder to catch his breath. Traditional non-invasive tests showed no significant coronary artery disease.

However, Stephen had a feeling something was not right. After learning about the HeartFlow Analysis, Stephen sought out the test hoping it would provide answers. He was right. Following the addition of HeartFlow Analysis to his CT Coronary Angiogram scan, his doctor received the answers needed to determine the next step in his treatment plan.
