Presenters

Lead Presenter: Jason Reed, State College of Florida

Education and technology have always been two passions in my life. As an Assistant Professor in the Business and Technology Department for State College of Florida, I have excelled at teaching students about technology and how technology fits into today's business world. I have the patience and skills needed to effectively teach students about a variety of technology subjects and I have the ability to quickly learn and present new information and subjects. As a Corrections Deputy for the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office, I balanced my assigned work duties, as well as volunteered my technical and educational skills to help the Agency. I assisted in implementing several technology systems in the jail and trained staff on the use of these technology systems. I look forward to utilizing my skills and knowledge of technology systems to teach and empower a new generation to help them learn the skills necessary to succeed in today's technology driven workforce.
