For Gabe Sasser, choosing to study finance at Florida College wasn’t just about launching a career—it was about aligning his work with his faith. Since graduating in 2023 with a Bachelor of Science in Finance, Gabe has built a meaningful path as a business planning analyst at Tampa Electric (TECO), where he applies both technical skills and spiritual principles to his daily work.
“FC prepared me for my career path in finance by teaching me to keep God first within my job and taught me to be a hard worker for Him, letting that be my motivation and goal,” Gabe reflects. That mindset has guided him as he transitioned from student to professional, helping him navigate challenges with clarity and purpose.
Gabe credits much of his growth to the mentorship he received from professors like Dr. Gilliam and Mr. Densford.
“From classes, I got to learn from great businessmen… where I could take real-world examples of how to be successful in finance and in work while keeping God at the center,” he says.
Their guidance didn’t stop at graduation—Gabe still turns to them for advice, a reflection of the lasting relationships he built during his college years.
Now thriving in a fast-paced industry, Gabe stands out not just for his financial skills but for the values he brings to the table. Whether he’s analyzing data or supporting his team, he remains committed to living out his faith in every aspect of his work.
