City of Port St. Lucie
Family: Wife, Tiffany Rolle; son,
Isaiah Rolle, 5
Education: Graduate of Fort
Pierce Central High School, 2002
Hobbies: “I like riding the local mountain bike trails.”
Who/what inspires me: “My father, Roderick Rolle, inspires
me. He taught me to always give my best.”
Something people don’t know about me: “I am afraid of
heights, but I deal with it.”
Rolle contributes the department’s emphasis on training to
Waters, who he says is knowledgeable in all areas of inspection.
“Alphanette rounds us out,” he says. “I feel like it is a really
good time to be an inspector in the City of Port St. Lucie.
She has every license you can get, I believe. She is awesome.
She will agree with us most times but will also point things
out when we are wrong, which helps us learn.”
Born in Jamaica, Rolle was adopted by his father and
brought to the U.S. “I was born when he was 50,” Rolle says,
“but he could still outrun me until I was about 12.”
His father’s influence has continued throughout his life. As
he reflects on his award, Rolle says it was his father’s guidance
that led him to this bright spot in his career. To listen to
his supervisors, there is only more goodness to follow. E

Rolle was because the city has received a lot of letters over the
years from the residents complimenting Rolle.
“His customer service skills are exceptional,” Dramis says.
“He has a lot of character and is a very intelligent individual.
We are happy to have him on the staff.
“We’re an accredited department; we serve about a thousand
people a day,” Dramis continues. “Yet we might get one
complaint every two to three weeks. Mostly they are complaining
about what the inspector has told them they have to
do. We get a lot of compliments on Condane and hardly ever
a complaint.”
The 34-year-old inspector attributes his success to having
the unique perspective of having been a contractor, of being
able to see when things are done wrong.
“My experience helps me explain things to contractors,”
he says. “Some inspectors have an ‘I told you so’ attitude
and they can’t explain why things need to be done. That’s a
big disconnect. You are in enforcement, but you can’t explain
why you are enforcing — the reason you need to hang the
duct like this is because if it is not hung properly, it will sweat
and cause problems for the homeowner. You have to give the
reasons why things need to be done a certain way.
“When the compliments come in, it’s because I always
give people my card and tell them to call me if they have any
problems.”
Dramis says he makes sure that any new inspectors ride
with Rolle as part of their training so they can observe his
customer-service skills firsthand. Rolle is cross-trained in
plumbing inspections and is studying to be certified for electrical
inspections. He also is assisting coworkers in becoming
cross-trained in other areas.
