High-energy, electric sparks pop from Florida Public Service Commissioner Julie Imanuel Brown. Her excitement and love of her job, her family and community radiate from her. So, it is not surprising to learn shes the daughter of a high-energy former Mr. U.S.A., Fort Myers podiatrist Howard Imanuel and his wife Suzi.

I remember at about the age of 5, watching my dad compete in bodybuilding, Brown tells Sunshine State News. Every morning hed be up at 5 a.m. working out in the home gym. This helped foster my love of physical fitness.
