After 17 years as Dean, I've returned to the faculty to focus on teaching information systems and services, data management, project management, and data analytics along with expanding the IT and Information workforce. I also get to be a Dean Emeritus, (which I think means they didn't fire me and I can let people assume I know it all) and instructor. I'm enjoying working with our great IT students. I'm also working on getting more students aware of all the great IT jobs via a project funded by TRIUMPH Gulf Coast, Inc.I am really excited about where the TRIUMPH Gulf Coast effort is leading me. I've had the opportunity to connect with people at Florida A & M, the University of South Florida, the University of Florida, and Gulf Coast State College, The LEAD Coalition of Bay County and the Apalachicola Moving Education, Inc. All are helping us get more students connected with IT. I'm also excited about working the the KaKua Institute in Pensacola, and the homeschool coalitions in Bay County, both of which are working hard to prepare kids for next generation jobs.My current goals including helping FSU build a strategic plan for STEM outreach and working with educators across the Florida Panhandle to improve the education and lives of the citizens of North Florida.
