Biography

I returned to a full-time faculty position in Economics, in 2012, after a 20 year adminstrative hiatus where I served as Associate Dean and Interim Dean in the College of Liberal Arts, and as Director of the University Honors Program.  I am currently in the second year of a three-year Transitional Appointment to retirement.  I teach in spring semester where my primary teaching areas are U. S. economic history and the history of economic ideas.
