His background is heavily influenced by studies in finance, and he has a genuine passion for discovery and knowledge creation in finance. He holds a B.S. in finance from Appalachian State University, M.B.A. in finance from East Tennessee State University, Ph.D. in finance (with minor in statistics) from Texas Tech University, and is a CFA® charterholder.

He has been teaching university finance classes since 2002, and has taught courses in corporate finance, money and banking, financial markets and institutions, management of financial institutions, investments, portfolio management, international finance, financial statement analysis, small business and entrepreneurial finance, risk management and insurance, options and futures, statistics and real estate.
