Nearing his second year as Seat 4 Commissioner, Becker will bring his passion for Central Florida’s growth and extensive analytical business experience to the role, helping guide the District as it continues to provide customer-focused, competitive natural gas energy services to more than 21,000 residential, commercial and industrial customers.

In addition to his leadership role in Apopka, Becker is the Director of Business Performance and Insights for Finastra, a leading global financial services technology provider with offices in Lake Mary. He also serves on the board of directors for Quest Inc., a regional nonprofit that meets the needs of those with developmental disabilities and supports the causes of many other nonprofits in Apopka and surrounding areas.
