BIOGRAPHY

Garry B. Coston is no stranger to adversity, challenge, and hard times. Mr. Coston was born in Jacksonville, Florida on October 4th but would later be raised in the small North Florida Country Town of Jasper, Florida.  During his childhood, Mr. Coston also lived in Jacksonville, Fort Myers, and Sarasota Florida.  He would attend Sarasota High School in Sarasota, Florida but would not graduate. After High School Mr. Coston would join the United States Navy at the age of 17.  While in the Navy, Mr. Coston started at the very bottom of the rank and file and would charge his way up to the rank of E-7, mid-management level.  Throughout his Navy Career, Mr. Coston was blessed with numeorus awards, accolades, ribbons and medals which are testament of his superior pride, professionalism, and stellar service to the United States Navy and our Nation.  After 20 years of dedicated and faithful service, Mr. Coston would retire from the United States Navy, spend one year in Jacksonville Florida, and immediately move to the City of Fort Lauderdale in South Florida.  He would reside in Fort Lauderdale for almost 10 years up to 2004 holding various administrative and clerical management type jobs and other positions in the admin professional field. In 2001, while living in Fort Lauderdale and facing great adversity and social challenges, Mr. Coston would receive a call from God to help those in need.  In 2004 Mr. Coston moved from Fort Lauderdale back to his native Sarasota and obeying the call of God would start FRESH START.  Since that time FRESH START has helped numerous individuals with various social resource needs, and up through the present and hopefully on through the future will continue its excellent tradition of providing top notch, second to none social services to the many homeless, needy, underprivileged and disadvantaged people in Manasota (Sarasota and Manatee Counties) Florida, the State of Florida, and the USA.  We thank God for allowing us to provide this great service to those in need! Mr. Coston currently resides in Manasota, holds a degree in Business Administration and is currently unmarried.
