Dave Fluharty, UNH T2 Center Director, Retires
After serving almost 12 years as the director of the UNH Technology Transfer Center, David H. Fluharty retired on July 29, 2005. Dave joined the center in October 1993 and said that he enjoyed his time working with such an appreciative and knowledgeable clientele.
Dave
grew up in Iowa and joined the Navy as an officer in the Civil Engineer Corps
after college. Dave served for 20 years. After retiring he began his second
educational journey at the University of New Hampshire. He earned his Ph.D. in
sociology and began teaching at both UNH and the College for Lifelong Learning.
Dave said that his occupational and educational experiences have helped him with
his role at the center.
Dave’s post-retirement plans include creating a Website to serve local road managers, spending more time with family, including his three daughters, eight grandchildren, and one great-grandchild; and moving to Five Islands Harbor in Georgetown, Maine with his wife Linda. Dave and Linda have been married 20 years and Dave said he’s ready for the next chapter in their lives and, as always, it will be nothing short of an adventure.
Thank you, Dave, for your unprecedented hard work, leadership, and dedication. Farewell on life’s continued journey and we’ll miss you! ~Charlie, Kathy, and Katy!
