Scot Dawson Treasurer and Immediate Past-President Scot, the new President of the SCGC for the 02-03 season, is an ’94 Finance graduate of the College of Business. Scot moved to Los Angeles in ’99 "for a job." He now resides in the South Bay area, strictly "for the beach life." Scot’s favorite motto is, "There is no life east of Sepulveda…oh, besides my apartment." Scot’s forte is finance, so he also holds the Treasurer’s job for the SCGC, as everyone knows that J-school grads do not do math. His day job is at the "think tank" of the Rand Corporation.

Laurie Dinnerstein Co-President Elect Laurie Dinnerstein graduated with a BA in Theatre in 2001. After two miserably frigid winters in Boston, she realized she hated cold, rainy weather and moved to sunny Los Angeles. Laurie spent most of her time at UF working on productions with both the Department of Theatre and Dance and Florida Players. She continues to pursue her ambition to be a screenwriter, but since she enjoys eating regularly and hates avoiding bill collectors, she has a day job to provide much needed cash flow. Laurie loves to host parties and stage major events, so she is here to serve the SoCal Gator club as its Events Coordinator, and is always open to suggestions for anything that will bring Gators together for a good time!

Jeff Isaacs Orange County Representative Jeff has supported the Southern California Gator Club in the Orange County area for over ten years. He is credited with bringing the Gators to National’s in Santa Ana.  Jeff earned his BA in ’77 and a MS degree in ’80 from UF. Originally from Pittsburgh, PA, Jeff came to CA in ’82. He is currently a GM with a southern California scientific glass and environmental R & D firm. In his free time, Jeff coaches his son’s 7th grade basketball team – appropriately named the Gators!
