Hello citizens of Madison County, I am Gregory Vickers, pleased to introduce myself as a candidate for Madison County Commissioner, District 1. I was born and raised in Madison County. My parents are the late Gary and Marion Vickers of Cherry Lake. I attended public school in Madison before moving to Plattsburgh, N.Y., where I graduated high school.
Upon completing high school, I began working for Gallagher Security where we installed high voltage security fencing around Camp David and FEMA headquarters.
Late in 2004, my father became deathly ill, and I returned home to Madison County. I began working at Moody Air Force base where I was employed as an electrical technician for Bayou Mechanical.
In 2012, I started Certified Towing, Inc., and have expanded the business to full service automotive and diesel repair including towing and recovery services. As part of my business expansion, I opened the automotive care shop, located on East Base Street in Madison, and diesel services in our Napa Truck Service Center located on S.W. Harvey Greene Drive. We employ 15 full-time team members and operate a fleet of nine service and tow recovery vehicles. I am also a certified CDL examiner for North Florida College as well as the State of Florida.
I am happily married to my amazing wife and business partner, Brandy Bochnia Vickers. Brandy is the daughter of Edwin and Sandy Bochnia and together we are proudly raising our children, Taylor, Tyler, and Nataleigh. Taylor and Tyler are fraternal twins and are both seniors at Madison County High School. Nataleigh is in the seventh grade at Madison Creative Arts Academy. We have two adult children, Jared and Taylor Kinsey.
My mission is to grow and sustain development in our community, support local business and create more opportunities for our youth by getting them involved earlier in the local business and workforce development.
As county commissioner for District 1, I will support sustainable growth, economic development, creating jobs, and improving opportunities for our youth. I will be transparent. I will listen to ideas and be a voice for my neighbors. These opportunities will encourage economic growth and also demonstrate accountability.
I love Madison County and I appreciate that it is our slice of paradise. If elected, I will be here to serve our citizens and protect what we and prior generations have grown for our children’s future and for the future of Madison County!
