ABOUT THE EDITOR
Hi, I'm Jason Wood.
I cover the Suncoast the way locals experience it — the restaurant that just opened on Main St., the neighborhood that's quietly changing, the real estate market shifts before they hit the news. Every Thursday, I bring you the stories that matter to life on Florida's Gulf Coast.
Sarasota-based. Coffee-fueled. Always on the water.
