Over the last seventeen years I have migrated from a successful career in business to teaching and research in the field of marketing, retail, and general business. Retail and educational consulting are also part of my weekly activities. Many of the courses I teach involve the use of business or marketing simulations with a strong focus on connecting business activities to financial results. In 2012 I received the William Panschar award for teaching excellence. This is the highest honor of its kind in the Kelley School. I have also been been honored as a multiple nominee for the Kelley School Innovative Teaching award. Most recently in May of this year I received an academic excellence award from our trustees.
