A New Addition to the City of Fort Walton Beach
Logan Browning may be fairly new to the city of Fort Walton Beach, but he has already made a significant impact as the executive assistant to city manager Jeff Peters. In this episode, Logan shares insights into his role and his experience working alongside the city manager.

A Personal Battle with Congenital Heart Disease
Logan’s journey took a turn when his daughter, Cadence, was born with a congenital heart defect. The challenges and hardships that followed led Logan and his family to the Ronald McDonald House, where they found support and assistance during a difficult time.
Giving Back to the Ronald McDonald House
