In this powerful episode of Junk to Jewels, Georgette Beck welcomes longtime friend and newly elected Sheriff of St. Lucie County, Richard R. Del Toro, Jr.

Sheriff Del Toro shares his remarkable journey—from selling jeans at a flea market to pay for the police academy, to becoming the county’s top law enforcement official.

With over 25 years in law enforcement, his leadership is grounded in faith, family, discipline, and servant-hearted values. Sheriff Del Toro opens up about his early rejections, strong family roots, and the mentors who shaped his career. He discusses his commitment to community service, mental wellness for first responders, and the power of consistent daily habits.

Listeners will walk away inspired by Sheriff Del Toro’s relentless pursuit of excellence, his emotional honesty, and his call to every citizen: “Serve others, and live with purpose.”

Joanna Lee Kilgore, or JoLee, as most friends call her, is a photographer and artist.

JoLee is a 2nd generation photographer and 3rd generation artist, obsessed with her craft. She has been photographing everything she could, printing the images and getting them up on the walls since JoLee was 11 years old. She has been creating custom commissioned art projects since she was 14. JoLee loves what she does, and she would love to work with you!

JoLee believes that it is the mission of artist to reveal truth. We have "The Eye" so we must help others to see. She wants to help you see yourself as you really are. As God sees you, as she sees you: Precious, beautiful, worthy, wonderfully and carefully crafted from stars in the universe. Let her take the best image of you that you have ever had made. She is willing to bet that you will have a wonderful time as well. You don't have to be photogenic, (which is a myth anyway,) you don't have to know how to pose. You don't have to lose weight or change anything about yourself. Just go and see her. She handles the details. Her clients are treated like a star. Clients hang out, have coffee or tea and chat about making their dream session and finished art come to life.

JoLee’s studio is located at 3328 NE Sugarhill Ave, Jensen Beach, Florida. She is also available for on-location, beach sessions, destination events and vacations. She may be reached at 864-263-8591 for an appointment. JoLee can’t wait to meet you!
