Judus Floratos first felt the pull of teaching and training as a college student at California State University in Bakersfield. Through programs sponsored by his church, as well as the university, he tutored and mentored high school youth. That work touched something inside him as he discovered that he "enjoyed helping other students understand and learn." Although his last name is actually Greek, Floratos grew up in a Mexican American household in southern California, a childhood he describes as idyllic. As e-learning multimedia developer for athletic gear behemoth Nike Inc., Floratos thinks about learning and culture a lot. The courses he develops to train Nike employees on SAP reach 5000 people in the U.S., Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Japan.
