Residents of Coral Springs for 20 years, Michelle and Keith have raised three beautiful children and enjoyed being part of the City’s motto, “To be the premier community to live, work and raise a family.”
Their two daughters and one son, who attend three different schools, have enjoyed sports throughout their years growing up. Casey, 16, is a junior at Douglas High School and a teammate on their Varsity swim team. She is also a swimming instructor at the Coral Springs Aquatic Center. Her favorite subject at school is History. Alexis, 12, is in the 6th grade at Coral Springs Middle School where she especially enjoys Math. A figure skater, she recently competed at the Florida Sunshine Games, and also enjoys sand volleyball with the Sand Turtles league. Jack, 9, is a history buff like his eldest sister. He is in the 3rd grade at Eagle Ridge Elementary. The busiest sportsman of the family, he plays ice hockey, North Springs baseball, winter league baseball and Coral Springs Youth Soccer.
Michelle, a homemaker, enjoys volunteering at the kids’ schools and taking action photos of them playing their various sports. Perhaps she’ll do a cover for the Spectator soon! Keith works for a large hospital and also plays ice hockey and coaches all of Jack’s sports. “When the girls were younger, they played soccer and I coached all of their teams, too,” he says with a smile. It’s obvious that family unity is of paramount importance to these five. Keith says, “We love vacationing together; snow skiing, going to Orlando, and we recently went out to California. We also love coordinating large get-togethers with our extended family.” One thing we know for sure after getting to know the Nilssons, Coral Springs really is the premier place for families to work, play and have a whole lot of fun!
