Please join OMT in welcoming Josh Spurgin as the Museum’s new IT Support Supervisor. Josh comes to the Museum after working in IT support at UF in Sponsored Research, Animal Care Services, and the Libraries.

Josh began repairing computers at 12 years old when he volunteered with Alachua Freenet refurbishing computers. He studied both electrical and mechanical engineering before realizing that he wanted a career in IT. Josh has worked at both UF and Santa Fe in various capacities focusing on end point support.

After nearly a decade in IT, Josh returned to UF as a student, graduating with civil engineering degree. After nearly a year of working with stormwater design in private industry, he realized his passion was IT.

He spends his spare time playing disc and ball golf, rock climbing, weightlifting, and tending to his carnivorous plants.

Josh is eager to meet all of his new Museum colleagues and contribute to supporting the Museum’s mission. Be sure to say hello to Josh when you see him out and about in the Museum!
