After earning a B.S. in Mathematics, I entered the Technology field -- as a Programmer, System Engineer, Data Manager, Help Desk, and Team Leader.  With the addition of an MBA in Corporate Finance, I moved into supervisory positions.  After twenty years with Texaco I became an entrepreneur with several small businesses. 

I hold a Texas Real Estate Broker license and taught first-time homebuyers personal finance and homeownership. Additionally, as a partner in two ventures, retail and service, I did what came easily to me - managed logistics, accounting, and finance.

With a Ph.D. in Business Administration with an Emphasis on Finance, I moved to academia and enjoy working with students as they work toward their goals.
