How would you describe your classes to someone who has never attended one?
I try to vary my approach in the classroom by incorporating as many learning styles as I can. We use lecture, role playing, class discussion, simulations, and other activities to enhance learning. I bring 12 1/2 years in the automobile industry and seven years of coaching college basketball with me. My combined educational, coaching, and manufacturing experience has enabled me to develop into an effective mentor and leader. I seek to challenge others to reach beyond their expectations. It is my belief that I can relate to college students and help them prepare for success in their personal and professional futures.

I enjoy the opportunity to share some of the real-life experiences I have had with students. Relating real-world examples to the theoretical information that we talk about in class is exciting. I really enjoy that we can talk about this through the eyes of faith. I hope to try and get people thinking about business with a Christian worldview. That’s one of the things I enjoy about Anderson University. You know you’re encouraged to think about business from that perspective. I also enjoy the colleagues that I am privileged to work with. I have had some great mentors to show me the way over the years.
