I am very happy to be joining St. Petersburg College (SPC) in the College of Computer & Information Technology (CCIT) on a full-time basis. I have been an adjunct here for the past 15 years and have thoroughly cherished every moment of it.

I earned my Master of Business Administration (MBA) with a major in Information Systems and my Bachelor of Science in Marketing from the University of South Florida (USF). I am also an alumnus of St. Petersburg Junior College (SPJC). I came into education from an industry background because I love to teach and observe the learning process. I have earned many IT industry certifications and am most proud of my designation as an Oracle Certified Professional Database Administrator.

My wife and I are on our 30th year of marriage. We have two children, both teenagers that make us proud every day. My daughter is a Junior at St. Petersburg Collegiate High School and my son is a Freshman at Dixie Hollins High School.

In my capacity as Academic Department Chair for CCIT, I look forward to working with the adjunct instructors for which I will be responsible, as well as the challenges and rewards associated with the position.
