General Information

Biography

I began teaching undergraduate courses over two decades ago in my hometown of Chicago, focusing on technical subjects such as telecommunications and information technology, as well as management disciplines, including telemarketing, international business, and general management. In addition to my tenure at UNO, I have taught at Loyola University Chicago and have guest lectured at DePaul University, Creighton University, and Harvard Business School.Throughout my business career, I have held leadership roles including division head, general manager, executive director, and corporate senior vice president at companies such as IBM, American Express, and First Data Resources. I also served as president and CEO of the Urban League of Nebraska. My multidisciplinary experience spans finance and accounting, operations and information technology, sales and marketing, consulting, executive coaching, and public speaking. Additionally, I founded a leadership training and consulting firm specializing in leadership, strategy, and resilience.Outside of my professional endeavors, I am grateful for a wonderful family, including two children who reside in Tennessee. In my free time, I enjoy salsa dancing and the challenge of hitting a golf ball as far—and as straight—as possible.
