Job Title: Professor, Department of Accounting, Finance and Economics
Years at UNK: 32
Career Path: I came to UNK – then it was still Kearney State College – in January 1991 as director of the Airway Science Program. After serving in that position for 10 years, I was appointed chair of the Department of Management and Marketing. I served as chair for one year and then began teaching law courses full time. I taught business law and employment law, and I created the construction law course.
Family: Wife, Renee, is from Montreal, Canada. I met her through her parents when her stepfather was executive director of the University Aviation Association, and I was the national president.
Hobbies/Interests: While flying has always been my primary hobby, I also enjoy constructing wooden, scale model sailing ships. Most people are not aware of my second hobby of ship building.
Three words that describe your personality: Dedicated, tenacious, ambitious.
Share something about yourself that few people know: I have the unique distinction of having rolled a ready-mix truck and having been stuck in the mud in a D8 bulldozer.
