High School next month.<p> It’s a long-awaited rebirth that has prompted Christiansen to try to build a more formal network of Evans alumni. The idea is to help motivate students in Pine Hills, home to long struggling Evans and a neighborhood where poverty often means some students are more concerned with basics like food and clothing than academics.</p><p> He should start with Alan Eustace.</p><p> If you don’t know who Eustace is, don’t feel bad. Christiansen hadn’t even heard of the Evans alum, who is one of Google’s top executives.</p><div class="s2nPlayer k-HeAkjiNV" data-type="float" data-s2n-api="dfm_stn_player_script_id_HeAkjiNV"></div><script> function dfm_stn_player_script_id_HeAkjiNV( getS2NApiForPlayer ) { if( typeof window.MNGAuthentication !== 'undefined' ){ const s2nApi = getS2NApiForPlayer( document.querySelector('.k-HeAkjiNV') ); s2nApi.float = ! window.MNGAuthentication.isUserSubscriber(); } }</script><p> Eustace’s success story started in Pine Hills. Back then, the neighborhood was a working-class Orlando suburb with rows of small ranch houses built for Martin Marietta employees.</p><p> Eustace worked from the time he was 11, first selling peanuts and Cokes at Tinker Field and later landing a summer job fixing motors and pumps for the city of Orlando.</p><script id="f6d6d08fc8b9469896f9d265c3aa4cc4"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=bfe206ee-fe6d-4342-81a8-3263a805ed3c&cid=38d5daa3-18ac-4ee1-a905-373c67622f25'; cnx.cmd.push( function() { cnx( { playerId: "bfe206ee-fe6d-4342-81a8-3263a805ed3c" } ).render( "f6d6d08fc8b9469896f9d265c3aa4cc4" ); } );</script><p> After he graduated from Evans in 1974, the son of a Martin engineer went to Valencia College for a year on a debate scholarship.</p><p> He transferred to the University of Central Florida, then Florida Technological University, to major in mechanical engineering. He paid for the classes by working at Walt Disney World, selling popcorn and ice cream in Fantasyland and eventually, working on the monorail system.</p><div class="dfp-ad dfp-cube_article" id="div-gpt-ad-cube_article" style="visibility:hidden"> <div class="htlad-cube_article" data-unit="orlandosentinel.com/news/cube_article" data-targeting=""></div> </div><p> A computer science class prompted him to change his major from engineering, though an advisor tried to talk him out of it.</p><p> “I was set to do a co-op that summer and I went to the co-op manager and told him I changed my major, and he sat me down and said, ‘Son, you can do this if you want, but there’s no future in computer science.'”</p><p> Talk about a great example of why it pays to go with your gut.</p><p> He earned three degrees from UCF, including a doctorate in computer science in 1984. After a short stint at a start-up in Silicon Valley, he worked for Compaq Computer Corp., which was later bought by Hewlett-Packard. He ended up at Google in 2002 when the company was just 4 years old.</p><p> Now he’s senior vice president of knowledge there (which means he oversees Google’s search function) and one of the company’s highest-paid employees, earning a compensation package of $12 million last year.</p><p> Eustace, 54, tries to maintain a low profile. He has returned to UCF a handful of times to give talks, and he and his wife give money to support the university’s computer programming team. He hasn’t been back to Pine Hills recently.</p><p> “I hear it’s changed,” he said. “I hear it’s not quite so nice in Pine Hills now … Evans was a basketball dynasty back then. It was a good place to grow up.”</p><p> Tim Haberkamp grew up in Pine Hills, too, and he still runs the Hardee’s restaurant on the corner of Silver Star and Pine Hills roads that has been in his family since 1966.</p><p> The 1975 graduate remembers Eustace. He can also tick off a list of other notable Evans alumni: local politician-turned-business consultant Dick Batchelor, U.S. Rep. Dan Webster and retired NBA star Darryl Dawkins.</p><p> Haberkamp also remembers the way Pine Hills used to be, and he is among a group of people who want to see the community return to its middle-class roots.</p><p> A group of business owners is pushing for a neighborhood improvement district that would allow them to tax themselves to make improvements.</p><p> And next year Christiansen will begin a “community school” funded with grants at Evans that will be open six days a week and provide services such as health care and counseling to students and families.</p><p> With efforts like these, the roster of Evans graduates who make a name for themselves will continue to grow.</p><p> <i><a href="mailto:bkassab@tribune.com">bkassab@tribune.com</a> or 407-420-5448.</i></p></p> <div class="time mng-originally-published">Originally Published: <time datetime="2011-12-13 00:00:00">December 13, 2011 at 5:00 AM EST</time></div></div></div><div class="article-bottom-share"><div class="article-share" id="sharing-bottom" ><div class="sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled"><div class="robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon sd-sharing"><h3 class="sd-title">Share this:</h3><div class="sd-content"><ul><li class="share-facebook"><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-shared="sharing-facebook-5434493" class="share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text" href="https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2011/12/13/google-exec-remembers-growing-up-in-pine-hills/?share=facebook" target="_blank" title="Click to share on Facebook" ><span></span><span class="sharing-screen-reader-text">Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)</span></a></li><li class="share-x"><a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" data-shared="sharing-x-5434493" class="share-x sd-button share-icon no-text" href="https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2011/12/13/google-exec-remembers-growing-up-in-pine-hills/?share=x" target="_blank" title="Click to share on X" ><span></span><span class="sharing-screen-reader-text">Click to share on X (Opens in new window)</span></a></li><li class="share-end"></li></ul></div></div></div></div></div><div class="revcon-footer"><div data-widget-host="revcontent" data-pub-id="190264" data-widget-id="282163"></div><script src="https://delivery.revcontent.com/190264/282163/widget.js"></script></div></div><aside class="article-sidebar"><div class="sidebar-content"> <div class="dfp-ad dfp-cube1_rrail_atf" id="div-gpt-ad-cube1_rrail_atf" style="visibility:hidden"> <div class="htlad-cube1_rrail_atf" data-unit='orlandosentinel.com/news/cube1_rrail_atf' data-targeting=''></div> </div><div class="dfm-sidebar-top-flex-container"></div><div id="Native_Cube"></div> <div class="dfp-ad dfp-cube2_rrail_mid" id="div-gpt-ad-cube2_rrail_mid" style="visibility:hidden"> <div class="htlad-cube2_rrail_mid" data-unit='orlandosentinel.com/news/cube2_rrail_mid' data-targeting=''></div> </div><h2 class="sr-only">Most Popular</h2><div class="dfm-sidebar-most-popular-flex-container">Most Popular<ul><li><h3 class="sr-only">Disney confirms Monsters land location, move of Muppets, ousting of Aerosmith</h3><div class='widget widget-popular-stories'><a href="https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2024/11/22/disney-world-monsters-land-muppets-leaving-muppetvision-aerosmith/" class="bump-view" data-bump-view="tp">Disney confirms Monsters land location, move of Muppets, ousting of Aerosmith</a></div></li><li><h3 class="sr-only">‘End of an era’: What’s next for Matt Gaetz?</h3><div class='widget widget-popular-stories'><a href="https://www.orlandosentinel.com/2024/11/21/end-of-an-era-whats-next-for-matt-gaetz/" class="bump-view" data-bump-view="tp">'End of an era': What's next for Matt Gaetz?</a></div></li><li><h3 class="sr-only">Jury acquits Osceola deputy in gas fire that severely burned man;
