With a zen-like quality, Jerry (aka Sonny, Sly Dog, Web Guy) glides along the meandering path of ambiguous job descriptions and political ping-pong. His fate is in the hands of the mythical Rattlesnake Den deep within the bowels of the campus.
You can catch Sonny picking some serious blues rhythms, laying down tracks in Garage Band, or meditating under the bhodi tree.

Chris has been continuously involved with technology in education at Butte College since 1997. But his degree is in...Religious Studies...and...Natural Resources. Go figure.
He enjoys pushing a mouse around, pounding the keyboard, cursing at his Mac in ASCII, and basking in the glow of his plasma display like a drive-in movie.

Embodying the finest qualities of a televangelist, stock broker, and presidential candidate, Dave has a contagious energy that can move both mountains and administrators alike.
When he's not promoting the best interests of the District and its Students, Dave might be found knocking back a pint, grooving an up-and-coming band on Facebook, or playing 'Underwater Space Rangers' with his son, Aiden.
