"I'm a Gator supporter. My blood runs orange and blue! It (UF) basically gave me the skill sets and the training to do what I'm doing now. (As a mentor), I want to share my experience with young people to help them develop fulfilling careers.

"I signed up (to be a Life Member) because UF has been my home for the past four years, and I want to stay connected. Hopefully, someday soon I will buy season tickets and attend games on the other (shadier) side of The Swamp. Being a Gator means school pride and being a part of the best university in the state of Florida and the country - and lots of great SEC football! Being a part of The Gator Nation is exciting because The Gator Nation® is everywhere."

"The University of Florida, specifically the industrial engineering department, developed my skill set and provided many of the tolls I use to be successful in my career. I recognize the significant impact UF had in my life. I became a life member of the UF Alumni Association to the next generation of professionals and with the hope that my three sons follow my path to Gainesville!"
