Dealaney 'The Real Deal' Allen - Assistant Director, Student Life and Leadership

Sometimes that comes forth through diving into policy and figuring out the best way to advocate for desired outcomes. Other times, that takes on a more adventurous role through hiking, camping, or swimming. She love to travel. Being the Florida baby she is, she has found herself completely in awe over the beauty found in mountains and waterfalls. Up until this point, she has stayed within the boundaries of domestic travel. However, she hopes to start exploring internationally soon. She is also a Rotarian and loves to spend time volunteering with this club.
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.

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.

Curtis 'Cyber' Scaglione - Associate Professor, Information Technology Programs
A once promising athletic career was brought to a hold after a torn HTML. Lesson learned, don't touch the firewall.

Relaxed and easy going, it's safe to say he will not byte.
