Teaching

I am an award winning teacher. My students selected me to the UT Austin McCombs 'Faculty Honor Roll' and fellow faculty nominated me to the University-wide 'Society of Teaching Excellence'.

I enjoy challenging students to push the envelope in how they think about problems. Moreover, I have succeeded in tough business school teaching environments. I enjoy adapting my material to the needs of students at undergraduate, graduate/MBA, and executive/corporate levels. The most rewarding teaching I have done, however, has been in a more personal and directed capacity as an Honors Thesis or PhD dissertation advisor.

Additionally, I have developed many original course materials including business school teaching cases that have been taught at top Universities; these are available from the University of Chicago Stigler Center and Harvard Business School Publishing.

Courses I've been involved with in various capacities follows below, along with a few added details.
