JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - North Florida Athletics is excited to announce the hiring of Michael Boele as Assistant AD of Business Operations as made official by Director of Athletics Nick Morrow. Boele brings in over 23 years of collegiate athletics experience and previously served as the athletics business manager at UNF from 2001-07.
"I am excited to welcome Michael Boele back to UNF," Morrow said. "I know she will bring a fresh perspective in the management of our finances and will bring a lot of value to our administrative team. Michael's background and experience will be a tremendous asset in accomplishing the many goals we have set out to achieve."
Boele has already accrued a decorated résumé in the world of college athletics, having served at five different Division I institutions and in two senior level positions at the University of California - Riverside and one at Fresno State University.Â
"I am excited to return to UNF and join the Osprey Family," Boele said. "The Osprey Family competes and excels in the classroom, on the field and in life's great arena. Director of Athletics, Nick Morrow, has a great vision, "The Pursuit", for the program and I look forward to contributing to the success of the vision. I would like to thank AD Nick Morrow and the search committee for this opportunity and I'm honored to be joining this amazing group of student-athletes, coaches and staff here at UNF. My husband, Gerrit, and I are also thrilled to be a part of the UNF and Jacksonville communities again."

Her duties also included, but were not limited, to serving as the sport administrator for multiple programs. A two-year stint further up north in California in "The Valley" at Fresno State saw Boele manage a 30-million dollar budget, while also holding nearly identical responsibilities as her position featured at Riverside.Â
