How did you become interested in this subject?

Marketing fascinates me because something is always changing.  For example, a buyer needs and wants change, new technology allows for the creation of new products and services, and the competitive environment changes rapidly.  Marketing is also highly competitive and that fits me pretty well.
 

What is your teaching style like?

I try to vary my teaching style depending on the subject and the level of the students in the class.  In the senior-level courses I teach, I emphasize experiential learning heavily through live-client projects.  I have my students work with real businesses on current issues they are facing.  In my junior-level course, I try to share the enthusiasm I have for marketing with my students since we are all marketers at some level.
