I was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan and grew up on the suncoast of Florida.  After graduating high school, I found my way to St. Petersburg college for the first time, then named St. Petersburg Junior College.  I am proud to be a part of the last graduating class of St. Petersburg Junior College before it became a state college.  Since then I came back to St. Petersburg College to finish my Bachelors coursework and then later to Nova Southeastern University to complete my Masters Degree. 

Today you can find me as an adjunct professor at St. Petersburg College and you'll find me teaching Networking and Digital Information Systems at Southeast High School in Bradenton.  I am also a co-sponsor of Future Business Leaders of America for my school. 

I have worked in the insurance business being a licensed insurance agent and I have also worked for a local Sheriff's office before coming back home to SPC to teach.  I've also been a computer repairman and for a short time ran my own business as a computer repairman.  Of the many things that have happened in my life, St. Petersburg College was the one place that helped me reach for greatness out in the world.

My philosophy in general is that if you want something, you must train your entire self in order to attain it.  It takes three parts to make the journey.  You need one part discipline, one part vision, and the other is action.  With all three of those in play, you will achieve your goals.
