I have 12 years of experience, and specialize in the field of finance with specific knowledge in the areas of business valuation, investment and time value of money issues. I have published on such topics as exchange traded funds, financial distress and layoffs. I am a financial valuation specialist who combines real world experience (owned my own business) and highly technical background (former AF pilot and engineer) with top teaching expertise (professor of the year honors two years in a row).
