EUGENE WOLFF
COUNCIL MEMBER
CITY OF SEBASTIAN, FL

(current term 2007-2009)

Contact Information:
City Hall - 772-589-5330
Email: ewolff@cityofsebastian.org

My graduating class at Narrowsburg Central Rural School (NY) consisted of twenty-seven students. I am an alumnus of SUNY Cobleskill and Mississippi State University (Agronomy) where I met my wife Mary who is from Vicksburg.

We farmed in South Africa (Cape) for ten years and decided to move back to the good ole USA to raise our three young children.

Residing in Vero Beach for two years, my family made Sebastian our home in 1997.

Formerly active exporting citrus to Europe and Asia, I have traveled the world marketing Indian River grapefruit. I am now a residential real estate professional with Coldwell Banker.

I enjoy fishing and spring training baseball at Dodgertown. I am a terrible golfer and worse tennis player. On weekends I try to catch the radio program “Piano Jazz” on NPR. My family are fans of the Sebastian River High Sharks & Sebastian River Middle Cowboys.

I enjoy meeting the residents and business owners of Sebastian, helping others and participating in Rotary International (whose motto is Service Above Self).

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if I may be of any assistance
