Originally a music major at Rutgers and professional singer/guitarist from New Jersey, I moved to California to pursue a music career. After 20 years in corporate business, and 20 years in the music industry, I traded the stage for the classroom, and the microphone for the podium. I have teaching business and liberal arts at the university level since 2000, and have been training, developing, and mentoring college faculty since 2004. I am a student-centered professor committed to teaching who finds joy in seeing students lives change in through classroom experiences.
In addition to playing music, I worked in administration, customer service, and quality control for Nationwide Insurance, Pacific Telesis, Dole Packaged Foods, and GTE Wireless (now Verizon Wireless).
