Now I’m a Gator.  I got my doctorate in Nuclear Engineering at the University of Florida in 1994.  I go back to Gainesville as much as I can and still stay active with my department at the university.  When I was at school in 1988-89, UF was a middle-of-the-pack football school.  Not much else except for swimming.  UF has produced 32 Olympic swimmers and 15 gold medal winners including Ryan Lochte and Dana Torres who have each won seven medals.  So, Gators can swim.

Looks so pretty! I teach for UF via their online web design program and LOVE it and have always wanted to take a visit to Gainesville! 🙂
Thanks for joining the Link Up this week!

Gainesville is a well-kept secret. I get back there at least once a year. My 10-year old son Max is getting his scuba certification this year and I can’t wait to take him diving here.
