Welcome!
I created this page to tell you a little about myself and to make this site a bit more personal. I am a native Floridian, born and raised in Titusville where I have lived all of my life. I enjoy Classical and Bluegrass music. My wife Kari and I met and dated in high school and married in 1991. She is currently the Assistant Director for A.M.P.A.C.
I was the Network Administrator for the Brevard County Sheriffs Office until I retired in 2004. I took three years off before rejoining the workforce here at U.C.F. I am currently the Neighborhood Watch Coordinator for our local Community and the County Coordinator for Brevard Watch, which supports all neighborhood watch groups and organizations within Brevard County.
