What do you teach?

In Fall I teach two sections of BUS 200, Principles of Marketing; BUS 443, International Marketing; and BUS 471, Promotions Management, which is the capstone for marketing majors.  In spring I teach the same classes, just one BUS 200, and also teach BUS 524, Brand Promotions Management.

What are you working on?

I’m constantly working on updating what has changed in marketing…it never stops…my adage is marketing always changes…something changed yesterday and I have to figure out what it is…and that’s what’s fun about marketing, having actually done it and led marketing teams…now it’s student teams.

What do you do for fun?

What I do for fun…well, my cat, Mr. Luke, is in charge. He is a Maine Coon who takes me out on a leash in his yard…this past summer I was on a leash for a record amount of time one day: 6 hours.  So, that’s fun for both of us as he gets to greet his dog friends walking by—rubbing noses and licking each other—and I get to chat with their humans.
