    Nikole... "You can't make this stuff up!"

    Nikole... "You can't make this stuff up!"

    I picked up John and Nikole late one night on Fort Myers Beach. They had lost a car key and found themselves stranded and in need of transportation. The unique spelling of Nikole's name caught my attention and I was interested to hear her story. Nikole is from Cincinnati, Ohio and is a kitchen manager at Buffalo Wild Wings. She also works at a Chevrolet Parts Distribution Center where she tosses about fenders, hoods, and bumpers. She enthusiastically shared that she was born
    Dyan... "It's my birthday!"

    Dyan... "It's my birthday!"

    When the name "Dyan" appeared on the trip request I immediately associated it with names like Dylan and Duane, and was anticipating a male passenger. I was a bit surprised when several gals entered the car and I was informed that the name was actually pronounced "Diane"! I had never seen that spelling before! The ladies were headed to the Buddha Rock Club in celebration of Dyan's 27th birthday. Originally from Missouri, Dyan grew up in a rural area near Kansas City. Her famil
    Dax... An Ancient Spa Town!

    Dax... An Ancient Spa Town!

    Dax was a recent passenger that I drove from the Fort Myers airport to his home in Naples. Originally from Indiana, Dax has proved to be very mobile. He has lived and worked in many states including North Carolina, Colorado, Virginia and Florida. Dax has a deep interest in medical research and works in the pharmaceutical business. He travels frequently between Naples, Florida and Cambridge, Massachusetts. His unique name, Dax, is the name of a city in Southwestern France wher
    Donato... a modern-day Renaissance man!

    Donato... a modern-day Renaissance man!

    Recently I enjoyed a quick trip with Donato as he was headed for work and a night shift at a local RacTrac. Donato was born and raised here in Fort Myers and attended high school at East Lee High. Although he maintained a low profile in high school, he really enjoys music and has learned to play the guitar, drums and even the saxaphone! Since graduation Donato has worked at both Publix and RacTrac. He is currently taking gun safety classes and is interested in a career as an
    Cassius... Loving life on FM Beach!

    Cassius... Loving life on FM Beach!

    This past weekend Cassius was a passenger on Fort Myers Beach. He was a very easy going, fun-loving, yet seriously minded type of guy. Although I immediately recognized the name Cassius (from the famous boxer, Cassius Clay, who changed his name to Mohammad Ali), I had never actually met anyone with that name. Cassius was very aware of the historical significance of his name and immediately shared a quick history lesson. "Cassius Clay", he told me, "was named after his father,
    Narella... she is a "bright one"!

    Narella... she is a "bright one"!

    Two of my recent passengers were Narella and Frederico. They were excited to get away from the day to day work routine and enjoy a night of relaxation on Fort Myers Beach. They are both diligent and valued employees at Che Tito's Steak House in North Fort Myers, where they serve an Argentinian cuisine. Narella and Frederico have a common heritage with roots in Argentina. Narella was born and raised in Argentina to a predominantly Italian family. She mentioned that in her nati
    Edward and Andrea... "You own a what?!?!"

    Edward and Andrea... "You own a what?!?!"

    From time to time I meet amazing people whose story just needs to be told. Edward and Andrea definitely fall into that category! This fine couple is from St. Louis, Missouri where Edward owns and operates a heating and cooling business. They are hard working folk who love the outdoors and dream of spending more time in both Florida and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Edward loves being near the water and he is a huge fan of lighthouses. He enjoys the history, beauty, and arc
    Kesner... "Split Image"

    Kesner... "Split Image"

    Often while driving Uber, I take the opportunity to run some of my personal errands. Recently while seeking information on a product at Sam's Club I had the pleasure of meeting Kesner. He is a store manager who proved to be very helpful, friendly and professional. His unique name immediately caught my attention, but after a short time of dialogue I realized that he also had an amazing story! Kesner is originally from the Bahamas but eventually found his way to SW Florida wher
    Jasma... a whole new world!

    Jasma... a whole new world!

    Jasma (pronounced Jazz-ma) was named after her aunt. Her name is very unique and originated from Persia. It means Jasmine flower. The name is derived from the name Jasmine which gained popularity following the 1992 release of the Disney movie, "Aladdin". This opened up a "whole new world" for girls' names! Originally from Pennsylvania, Jasma is now a student at Florida Southwest University working toward a degree in nursing. Not only is she a diligent student but she also wo
