About

During his two decades in journalism Terry covered the police beat, the arts, entertainment, and restaurant scene, social services, and education – and real estate. He's also a musician and the author of three books of true crime stories, and occasional contributor to various other publications around town. Terry has always been an architecture buff and loves the rich variety of building styles in Key West – as well as the stories they hide within their weather-beaten walls. His interest in the town's historic past, and commitment to the zeitgeist of Key West's flamboyant and fun-loving present, led him to follow his father, local real estate broker Walter Schmida, into the real estate business.
