Schweitzer Klassifikation
After graduating from Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Florida (1979), and not being sure what he wanted to do for a living, he started a professional career as a High School Math Teacher/Coach. After six years, he then decided to become a lifetime public servant, getting a job in the nearby City of Madeira Beach. While employed, he pursued and acquired his MPA (Master of Public Administration) degree. During his career, he has been everything from a Recreation Supervisor to the City Manager, for four different municipalities, all in Pinellas County. This is a story about Roller Coasters encountered, Revolving Doors endured, and Reflux suffered along the way. The historical account includes episodes of crisis management, natural disasters, a pandemic and a cybersecurity "incident" that made international news, just to name a few. Enjoy the journey!
