Happy Veterans Day!
Rodney Wade,
Army veteran,
insurance agent
Name: Rodney R. Wade.

the Army, retiring in 2003,

of service, as
a sergeant first
class; I was an
Rodney Wade
aircraft electrician initially; and an Army
recruiter for three years;
also a platoon sergeant.
After retirement, I started
as a residential real estate
agent and eventually gravitated towards the insurance
business. It was a good fit.
I like it; definitely; it’s very
fulfilling; I like helping
people recognize and manage their risks. I handle
auto, home, life and business insurance. Business
has been up and down; it
changes with the consumer
market; seems like business is getting better; like
it’s starting to pick back up
again.
Age: 46.
Family: Married to Teresa;
we have two children:
Treyvon, 22, a senior at the
University of Virginia; and
Ryan, 24, at the University of Michigan, studying
Psychology and graduating
next year with his master’s
degree.
Education: Received my
associate’s degree in General Studies from Central
Texas College, Killeen,
Texas; and also received
various professional designations from the insurance
industry.

City preserves Pleasure House Point’s
118 acres for generations to come
Partners with other groups working together to protect Virginia Beach’s natural areas
The successful preservation of Pleasure House Point,
an undeveloped natural open
space on the Lynnhaven River, recently culminated with a
ribbon-cutting ceremony, with
about 250 guests attending.
Located just west of the Lesner Bridge and south of the
Chesapeake Bay, Pleasure
House Point Natural Area
is 118 acres of water, tidal
marsh, sandy shores and maritime forest. The property’s
shallow water estuarine environment provides habitat for
the iconic Chesapeake Bay
blue crab and the Lynnhaven
oyster.
This high-profile property was once being considered
for a large waterfront development, but with the help of

Nov. 8, beginning at 2 p.m., at the Virginia Beach Convention Center, 1000 19th Street. Event registration and networking begin at 2 p.m., with a small reception at its conclusion.

small businesses - and those owned by women, minorities
and service-disabled youths - can market and promote their
goods and services.
Attendees may network with other business owners and
learn strategies that could propel their enterprises to the next
level, while sharing their companies’ capabilities with

lived in Boston for a while; graduated high school in Bayboro, N.C.
When move to Virginia Beach: 2005, from Fort Drum, NY.
I had family here; and I was stationed in Newport News, so
I was already familiar with the area. I like Virginia Beach’s
location; you get the best of both worlds here; it’s not like a
small town; but it’s not like a big city either. Town Center;
it gives it that ‘city’ feel. I also like the weather – all four
seasons, without the snow.
Favorite city in the world: Of the places I’ve been to, New
York City.
Dream vacation: Hawaii, never been there.
Favorite comfort food: Probably some pasta with Alfredo
sauce.
Favorite seafood: Grilled salmon.
Favorite cut of beef: Grilled T-bone steak.
