After more than 20 years in the association management field, Gina figured it was time to stay home and be a full-time military wife to her husband Larry and Mom to her then 8-year old son, David.  Playing soccer Mom and volunteering at the local school had become her new calling. 

However, as soon as she “retired” her phone started to ring. Within weeks, several communities came calling for the manager they had grown to love for years of loyal service, immense HOA knowledge and personal charm.   Soon, and with only two pieces of advice from her husband Larry—"always do things the right way and treat your staff like gold"— she found a small office building in the downtown Sanford area and Premier was born.  

With new-found energy, Gina and Premier quickly outgrew the downtown office and relocated to a historic home on Elm Avenue in Sanford.  Despite the unexplained creeks and rattles of a 100-year old home Premier continued to grow and in 2008 the company relocated their office to Lake Mary.   Gina also coerced Larry, in between his military deployments, to join the company and launch the company’s maintenance division, providing Premier's communities with affordable and dependable maintenance services.

In the autumn of 2010 Premier Living Magazine was added to the Premier portfolio. Mailed free of charge, Premier Living is designed to educate the home or condominium owner on association news, board procedures and legal processes, as well as providing a myriad of uplifting stories highlighting the many remarkable residents living within the communities Premier manages.

In April 2015, Premier opened their new home office in mid-town Lake Mary. Then, in June 2015, as if Gina and her staff weren't already busy enough, they opened a satellite office in Clermont.   

In March 2016 Premier was honored to be named the 3rd Place winner in the Bright House Regional Business Awards.  The award highlighted Premier’s outstanding work ethic, transparent approach to community management and their fanatical commitment to customer service.  

Then, in August 2016, Premier was recognized by the Orlando Sentinel as one of Orlando’s Top 100 Companies, earning 12^th place in the Small Business category. Further, the Orlando Sentinel honored Premier with the Community Service Champion Award, citing Premier’s outstanding community service for residents in need in the communities they manage and as well as their support of countless charitable organizations in the Central Florida area.
