Lyndon 'Mr. Cuddles' Coleman - Athletic Director; Head Coach, Baseball
At the end of the day Lyndon used to be a stud athlete at every sport, now he is just a washed up former athlete with a killer "Dad Bod." He now enjoy living vicariously through his players successes on the baseball field to fill his void of lack of competition in his life. He used to roll around with other human beings in a singlet while he was a state ranked wrestler in high school, but he is best known for his ability to crack block linebackers on a jet sweep sweep in football because he was a wide receiver with sauce pans for hands. He is least known for baseball because skills as Winterling would say "Lyndon has a better chance of getting a hit with a wet news paper than he does with that bat in his hands." Like he was saying, former "STUD" athlete. Now he is just living vicariously through other people successes.
Amber 'Rapid Fire' Conner - Senior Benefits Specialist
Born and raised in awesome St. Pete, Florida. Never played or had any interest in playing sports growing up. The only interaction Amber has with a football now is tossing the football back and forth with her son. Now that she is becoming interested in sports, her coworkers are trying to educate her so she can understand all their trash talk.
Kelvin 'Sub Zero' Faison - Assistant Professor, Psychology
Kelvin “Sub Zero” Faison is a triple threat as a starter for the staff basketball, football, and softball team. His intimidating size and strength combined with his ability to stay “ice-cold” under pressure make him an imposing force in any situation. Kelvin’s experience in psychology could become useful to help console the students after losing today’s game. Looks like we’re gonna need more couches!
Mickey 'Steel City' Fay - Executive Administrative Assistant
Mickey grew up in a small town in upstate, N.Y. (Scotia) and lived in the surrounding area until moving to Florida in October 2001. She has four sisters, two older and two younger, making her the middle child. She has worked at only two jobs in the last 37 years – 16 years at Mountain View Productions, Ltd. in Schenectady, N.Y. before moving to Florida and being hired at the College as an Administrative Assistant I in July 2002. Her license plate is LV STEELRZ because, well, she loves the Steelers! She is a true Scorpio; caring, loyal, honest, but also opinionated, stubborn, and outspoken. She also has a strong sense of what she think is right and wrong and there isn’t much of a gray area between the two for her.

Born and raised in Hernando County, a former graduate of PHSC, she is gold!
Curtis 'Cyber' Scaglione – Dean, School of Business Innovation & Technology
A once promising athletic career was brought to a hold after a torn HTML. Lesson learned, don't touch the firewall. Currently working as an instructor at PHSC in the IT department, looking to get back on the drive. He even went as far as to cut cookies out of the equation all together to get back into shape. Full of optimism, this new gig surely will not be the last. A new opportunity means he will be able to grow bit by bit in an effort to be a solid member of the team. Relaxed and easy going, it's safe to say he will not byte.
Janet 'The Librarinator' Schalk - Librarian, Porter Campus
Wendy 'Stilettos' Villa - Associate Director, Career and Technical Education Program Outreach
For years Stilettos was dying to be on the team, and in 2017 made her big debut! Word is that she does not need to work, and only does so she can buy stilettos and play on the faculty and staff team. She says stilettos are the “most versatile tool she has.”
