Education: Bachelor of Arts from the University of Florida

Fun Fact: Yes, believe it or not, Lance is The Godfather of tutoring. So where did Lance earn this legendary title? After growing up in the Ft. Lauderdale area, Lance joined the Navy. Not even joking, he operated a nuclear reactor while onboard the ballistic submarine SSBN James Monroe, which is kind of scary to believe, we know. After the Navy, Lance came to Gainesville to pursue a degree in Finance at UF, while also managing two movie theaters and starting two small businesses. We are very lucky to have Lance as a tutor with his 15+ years of experience and whether it is great stories about scuba diving or statistics, Lance is the man.
