Before I started teaching, I worked for ten years in advertising, sales promotion, market research, public relations and in the music industry. 

My objective is to encourage students to pursue business and community endeavors that help achieve the triple bottom line of people, planet, and profits for a healthier, safer, better quality of life with greater economic and social justice for a peaceful, better, more sustainable world.  My teaching philosophy is to effectively empower students with marketing knowledge, skills, and social responsibility to achieve their career goals and dreams.  Since 1988, I have taught over a dozen marketing and business courses.

My scholarly record includes over thirty peer-reviewed publications including journal articles, conference papers, cases, and a book chapter, as well as conference presentations. My research focuses on how marketing strategy, innovations, social entrepreneurship, and corporate social responsibility can help organizations achieve the triple bottom line of economic success, consumer and societal health and well-being, and environmental sustainability.   Also, my research has investigated how global consumer values, retail atmospherics, and music influence consumers.

I have great interests in marketing, social entrepreneurship, pop culture and in new products and services that enhance people's lives and make the world a better place.
