After graduation I attended the University of Chicago where I first earned a Master of Arts in Economics and then proceeded to achieve the level of All-but-Dissertation PhD at the University of Chicago in Economics. Since then, I have held key leadership positions with emphasis in strategic planning, finance, operations, and sales in a wide range of companies, from a Fortune 100 to an entrepreneurial high technology start up. Throughout my career I have found the time to function as an adjunct faculty member in economics for Saint Louis University, Maryville University, Webster University, Illinois Institute of Technology, and Elmhurst College, I love making economics understandable and applicable to the world we live in. Nothing makes me happier than to have a learner respond "now I get it!"
