Why Belmont?  As a native Nashvillian and Belmont alumnus, I love remaining engaged with the Belmont University community.  I am continually energized and inspired by our students and faculty, but work to give back much more than I receive.  Through my faculty position, I strive to act as a bridge for students and faculty by connecting our academic classroom teaching and activities to the business community and current industry environment.  I do this by sharing my knowledge, experiences, and network so that our students can better relate learned principles to current trends to be fully prepared for their business careers and opportunities.
