He began his career in banking before becoming president of Corbin Henderson Company — an investment real estate firm — six years later, a position he still holds. His career in politics began in 2000 when he was sworn in as City Councilman, Ward 5. Previously he served on the City of Fort Myers Conference and Convention Council, as well as volunteered with many other civic groups including president of the Fort Myers Chamber of Commerce. He was elected Mayor of Fort Myers in 2009, and re-elected in 2013. Upon meeting, he’s a man who reflects the qualities of grace, humility, style, passion and love for his community. Each issue, “Take Five” poses five questions to a community leader or personality that have not previously been shared. Here, Mayor Henderson addresses the vital Southwest Florida issues of water quality, economic development, quality of life and his own plans for the future.
