Freddie Lima is a technical unicorn who has worked as a Software Engineer, Systems Engineer, and Security Engineer. Freddie's wife Ginger is the CEO of the company they co-own, All Things Operations (ATO). In "Growing Future Operators," Freddie shares his professional experiences.

He has a great reputation as a superintendent, graduating more students than any other public school in his state. Frank Spencer is a pragmatic superintendent who tailors his program to give students the best possible future. The novel follows Freddie as he introduces his idea at the collegiate level and then works with the local school systems.
