Born and raised in Tampa and decided early on I wanted to be a dentist so I figure I’d go to dental school at UF.  The question was where to do undergrad.  I applied and was accepted at USF and UF.  Decided to stay home for undergrad and save the folks some money.  Well, got accepted to dental school at UF and after about a year and a half I realized working on teeth wasn’t for me.  I was a huge Gator fan for the longest time until USF got a team.  I figured my diploma on the wall says USF not UF.  I was at the 2010 game in the swamp in the north end zone in god awful heat wearing the green and gold and will be in RayJay this year sweating my baguettes off rooting on our Bulls.  I still pull for UF just not when they’re playing USF in any sport.  

 

Still thinking of dentistry?

Haha!  Not really…though those endodontists do make some serious coin.  Ever had a root canal?

There were only a hand full of schools further from home and I was looking for the exact opposite of Seattle weather wise. Tampa being a big city was a draw as well, I kinda fell in love with Tampa on visits as a kid so it felt natural.

Followed the team through the magical #2 in the nation season, applied, and got in. 
Thought for sure we would be good forever lol. Yikes. 

Had an awesome time living at Province for five years, threw awesome parties, and met my best friends for life. 0 regrets.

Out of curiosity do you follow/support your alma mater as much as you do USF?

You betcha. Not real cheap if I recall.  Quick funny story. Last time I was at my dentist she was bitchin' about the prices her dealer/mechanic was charging at $125 per hour.  She had to replace a cavity for me that took 10 minutes and cost me $400. I pointed out that she shouldn't be complaining about the mechanic.

I've always liked to tell people...I started at Northern Michigan University but graduated from University of South Florida...makes for a nice contrast...     vs

Proximity. My dad’s job moved him to Pinellas county just I graduated from HS. I needed to live at home to afford college so I went to SPJC for my AA and then transferred. I remember the kids I met at SPJC my 1st semester complaining about the increase in tuition from $15/hr to $16 that had just occurred in 1979.
