Dear Students and Site Visitors: Welcome to my website homepage and the various e-syllabi as this should be your primary tool for keeping current on my classes and your course work. I'm excited about continuing my sixth full time year as a member of Whittier College’s Business Administration faculty as an Associate Professor.

I enjoy this wonderful opportunity to teach and mentor as it is a great change of pace and focus after a twenty plus year ride as a MIS, sales, and operations executive in the Fortune 100 Universe. It feels very good to now be able to share with students and colleagues what I learned and applied from my previous tenure with several world class corporations and a couple of stints heading up smaller and more entrepreneurial firms.

You will need to check via Moodle updates on your courses daily as I tend to update my pages frequently throughout the semester. Don't wait until the day of class to check for updates! Check with Moodle and the class syllabus for changes in readings, assignments, and projects at least the day before each class.

My courses also make extensive use of the content management capabilities of Moodle and my plan for this year is to extend the power of "Moodle" to make the courses even richer. Hence, at the beginning of each semester we will spend time during the first week of class discussing our utilization of "Moodle" and the class protocols. All of my  courses are easily accessed via the "Courses" tab at the top of this page as well as through the most recent course page.  My commitment to you is make these courses innovative, challenging, interactive, and fun!! So get ready for a great semester and Abrazos to all.
