Bio/Vitae

I began my service to Anderson University’s Falls School of Business as an adjunct professor in the MBA program in 1999 and accepted a full-time appointment as an Associate Professor of Finance & Business in the fall of 2006. In the spring of 2008, I changed my field of teaching to become an Associate Professor of Management. In January, 2009, I was named the Austin/Cooper Endowed Professor of Global Studies for the Falls School of Business. This will allow me to work with the Global Business majors, arrange for international cultural experiences for students and faculty, and the required international study opportunity for the majors.

My earlier career was 27 years with a major electric utility, Duke Energy-Indiana and its predecessor companies: Cinergy-PSI, PSI Energy, and Public Service Indiana. During this time, I held progressively more responsible positions; in total 17 jobs in ten locations. I hope I bring that experience into my classrooms and the students benefit from it.

Additionally, I have served my many communities where I have lived through not-for-profit service with around 40 different organizations. I have over 200 years combined service through this venue, with 12 of those years as the presiding officer, an additional 30 as an officer, and over 50 as a board member. Governors in both Kentucky and Indiana recognized my efforts with appointments as a Kentucky Colonel and as a Distinguished Hoosier.

My research and consulting interests lie in the field of developing leaders, implementing change, and strengthening teams. Additionally, I enjoy public speaking on a host of topics.

My current civic service includes:

Immediate Past-Chair of the Fishers Chamber of Commerce board

Member of the Legacy Fund board, and Chair of the Grants Review committee
