Before moving to Florida in 2002, Professor John Gibbons worked as a network engineer in Atlanta, Georgia. While working as a network engineer, Gibbons also taught part-time. Since he especially loved teaching, he retired from his job as a network engineer after working 33 years in the industry. Once he moved to Florida, he was hired as an adjunct instructor at St. Petersburg College (SPC) in 2002. Since that time, he has been teaching CGS 1070 Basic Computer & Information Literacy and CGS 1100 Computer Applications for the College of Computer & Information Technology (CCIT). Gibbons teaches both courses in online and face-to-face formats.<\/p>\n
