Dane McGuckian is a Senior Statistics Instructor at Florida International University
(FIU) and the founder of STATSprofessor.com. Dane began his career as a high school teacher at Sagemont Upper School in Weston, Florida. While in high school, Dane had no plans to attend college and completed only the bare minimum requirements in order to graduate. After a year-long struggle in the job market lacking a higher education, Dane reluctantly enrolled at a local community college in Florida, Broward Community College
(BCC). There, Dane found that the discipline of mathematics was, for him, a natural fit.
Dane ended up at Florida International University where he graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics.

After his initial high school teaching position, Dane decided to return to the community college where he discovered his aptitude for Mathematics as an instructor. While teaching at BCC, Dane subsequently earned his Master of Science in Statistics from Florida
International University. Dane was hired on as an instructor at FIU in 2006.

During his first semester of teaching at FIU, Dane began independent work creating a series of instructional videos on statistics for his students’ use. In 2011, this little side project spun into the creation of his website, STATSprofessor.com, which is now available to statistics students across the country.
