How does your professional background influence your time in the classroom with students?
"Learning accounting from a text book is an important part of a students learning experience. However, I like bringing my 40 years of experience into the classroom to provide the students with concrete examples of how accounting is used in all business disciplines such as finance, marketing, information technology, etc."
