Sharpe represents the Board of County Commissioners on Tampa Bay Water and currently serves as its Chairman. He also is Chairman of the Health Care Study Committee, which reconvened in May, 2009 to evaluate Hillsborough Health Care, the County’s managed care program for uninsured, low-income residents.

Prior to his election, he served eight years as an active-duty officer in the U.S. Navy. He retired after two decades of service, which included 12 years in the U.S. Naval Reserves. After receiving a bachelor's degree in multinational business from Florida State University, he earned a master's degree in strategic studies from the University of South Florida.
