In this episode of Beneath the Surface, host Luke Hannon sits down with Adam Zuccaro, Lieutenant of the St. Lucie County Fire District and President of the St. Lucie County Firefighters Surfers for Autism chapter, for a conversation on service, community, and the healing power of the ocean.

Adam shares his journey from a 12-year-old kid stopping by the firehouse in Boca Raton to a 29-year career in fire service, and how his son's autism diagnosis led him to discover Surfers for Autism on a beach in Deerfield. What started as a family experience has grown into a thriving local chapter that brings together firefighters, volunteers, and the autism community for saltwater therapy, inclusion, and connection.

From the therapeutic benefits of the ocean environment to the unexpected training value for first responders, this episode explores what it means to build something lasting at the intersection of service and community. As Adam puts it: awareness is one thing, but acceptance is what matters.
