Favorite thing about teaching: The moments when I see that light go on in a student's face as they "get it" and can now understand how their education will enrich their lives.  I particularly love teaching the disciplines of Business Administration because the business environment is so fast changing and requires that we all stay on top of it each day.

Memorable moment at HCC: After thirty years of teaching here at HCC, there are just so many.  As a group, I believe it has been those moments I have shared with my students as they graduate with much success having begun their education at HCC with much insecurity about their potential to do so.

Teaching philosophy: Living is All About Learning.
