Johnathan Yerby

My entire life I have been involved in education, for several years as a student plus a couple positions training and instructing part-time. For the past few years I have been able to enjoy being a full-time faculty member at a great college. Teaching seems very natural to me, I enjoy helping people grow and learn. I try to be reasonable, logical, open to new experiences, keep positive influences in my life and eliminate most negative influences. I work more than I would like, but I really enjoy each of the little successes and accomplishments along the way. I earned my first Masters Degree in Management Information Systems. I then earned a Masters in Business Administration before beginning my Ph.D. program at Georgia State University in the Instructional Technology program. Prior to teaching and working on my Ph.D., I spent the majority of my time doing school work or working as a Network Administrator, Project Manager, volunteering in the college and community, and running my own IT Consulting business. I am always learning something new. I thrive on knowing more. If I am not doing something to move my life forward I feel complacent and uncomfortable. I am not nearly as far in my life right now that I would have expected to be -but it is a journey and I am still moving. I want to do something to make plenty of money, help others, and be happy. I enjoy seeing people advance their lives and if I can do something to help someone with that process then it gives me great pleasure. I see myself as a work in progress, and hopefully always will.
