Danielle, Omar and their family are living the good life in Parkland. Grateful for their two children, surrounding community and successful business, Danielle says, “In the first 5 years of our marriage, I was very involved in growing our business.” Business owners in the Financial Services industry, they now have 40 offices and 2500 licensed representatives. Proof that hard work pays off, she continues, “Now I’m a full-time mom, love spending time with our kids, volunteering at their school and being the room mom for both of them.”
Children Brady, 9, and Olivia, 8 are both enrolled at Coral Springs Christian Academy and are in the 3rd and 2nd grades. Brady’s favorite subjects are reading, science and social studies and Olivia’s are math, reading and P.E. When they aren’t in school, the kids are both active with extracurricular agendas as well as plenty of family time. Brady has a brown belt in Taekwondo and Olivia loves her dance, piano and art lessons. The kids also enjoy fun together on the weekends including video and arcade games, like tridewi, as well as traveling with their family.
The Oropesas love their movie nights, going out for hibachi dinners and traveling. Danielle says, ”We take 8 to 10 vacations a year and some of our favorite places to go are Disney, Universal Studios and New York City.”
Danielle grew up in Coral Springs and Omar grew up in Miami. Settling happily in Parkland 9 years ago, Danielle tells us, “We love living in Parkland because we love the small town feel – where all of the neighbors are nice, we know our police officers and the mayor, but we’re less than half an hour from cities like Ft. Lauderdale and Boca Raton. “
With a focus on greater things, Danielle says with firm conviction, “We are passionate about our church, Church by the Glades….and we are also passionate about the kids’ school, Coral Springs Christian Academy.” She concludes with a statement that personifies her family in one sentence. “We want everybody to know that the Oropesa family is all about loving God, working hard and chasing dreams & goals every day.”
