About Rick
- Rick Geller
- Windermere, FL, United States
- I serve as an Orange County, Florida Planning and Zoning Commissioner, appointed by District 1 Commissioner Scott Boyd. I am a partner with the law firm of Fishback Dominick in Winter Park, Florida, where I practice in the areas of business and commercial litigation. I also handle land use disputes, but prefer matters outside of Orange County. Last winter, I began teaching land use law as an adjunct professor in the new Master of Planning in Civic Urbanism program at Rollins College.
