The Gomez Family

Israel and Amanda Gomez have been residents of Coral Springs for more than 10 years. Happily pursuing life with their three children, Rick, 16, Abby, 15 and Johnathan, 11, Their family is completed with Grandma Maggie and their sweet yellow lab, Merry.

Happy to be in a city they love, Amanda tells us, “What we enjoy the most are the parks and recreation…There is always something happening in Coral Springs for the entire family. We are proud of our City! Coral Springs is a great place to live and raise your family.”

Israel is a Partner at a CPA firm. His primary focus is providing attestation/audit and consulting services to not-for-profit organizations and small-businesses. Amanda is the ESE Director and a Technology teacher at Coral Springs Christian Academy (CSCA).

All of their children attend CSCA. Amanda says, “We’re blessed to have them attend CSCA and we’re thankful for the impact the school has had on our children both academically and spiritually. The school represents everything my husband and I want for them, especially the small setting and family environment.”
Rick is a Junior who plays on the school’s Flag Football team and is also part of the Sound Team. Abby is a freshman and plays on the school’s volleyball team, as well as the Club team at Boomers Volleyball Academy. She is also a member of the National Honor Society. Johnathan is in the 6th grade and plays travel baseball with the Coral Springs Florida Force, on a rec team with North Springs Little League, and he enjoys flag football with the Dolphins on Coral Springs rec Flag.

Israel is a recently elected a board member for North Springs Little League Baseball and is a proud Graduate of Leadership Broward Foundation, Class XXXV. Amanda coaches Middle School Volleyball at CSCA.

This close-knit family is fun to be around, and always grateful for their time together. Amanda says, “As a family, which includes our extended baseball and school family, we spend a lot of time together. Other than being at the field or at school games, much of our extra time is spent at our friends’ houses, grilling and playing Phase 10 (card game). A common expression that you might hear any one of us say is, “I skip you!” Or that we’re part of the “Phase 10 Elite” (not a real team).” The Gomezes also enjoy road trips, camping, and going to the beach.

To know this family is to absolutely fall in love with each of them! “I just want to express how much our family means to me,” says Israel, followed by Amanda’s input of, “I enjoy the time we spend together and pray that every day we’re creating memories that will carry them through difficult times.” Abby’s input is unselfish. “It is important for me to remember that I should always be willing to help others.” So sweet! Johnathan sounds pretty typical for being a focused athlete. He says,
“I love sports and playing outside with my friends.” And Rick’s closing statement sounds more like advice. “Life’s a biscuit, sometimes you gotta risk it.”

The Gomez family has been attending Community Christian Church as visitors but hope to become members soon.
