For the past 45 years, I have been in higher education in various capacities. I received my PHD in Accounting at Washington State University. Years before that, while I was working on my Master's of Science in Accounting at UMKC, I became a CPA. I have been a full-time faculty member at William Paterson University for 21 years. I have been married for more than thirty years to my best friend and we have two beautiful daughters. My hobbies involve very little physical activity. These hobbies include watching tv shows and movies. Also, I consider myself an amateur cinephile.
