Hello! I’m Kris Cruzada. I grew up in the 32792 area of Winter Park next to the High School. I now reside near the Winter Park Pines Golf Course which is very close to my childhood home. My wife, Russette, and I have two kids, a 15 year old daughter and an 8 year old son. We also have Mason, our dog, an American Pointer.
I am an Attorney with a General Practice that emphasizes my legal and accounting experience. I earned my Law Degree from Saint Louis University. I have previously practiced as an Assistant State Attorney, Insurance Defense Counsel, and Partner in local mid-size law firm. Additionally, I hold an Accounting Degree from the University of Central Florida and worked in various capacities as an Accountant.
I also serve as Shareholder and Director for our Family Business, which transitioned through various forms with the growth in the area, owning orange groves, developing a residential subdivision and re-purposing land for carbon sequestration. Currently, it still owns and manages agricultural, small residential and commercial properties in Florida.
