About Me . . .
Past students have found my classes entertaining, highly educational, and interactive; most would take another course with me. I have been complimented often on my high level of enthusiasm and knowledge of the subject matter. Of course I can't know everything about the topics I teach, so we may be able to explore new areas together. If a question is raised in class I can't answer at that moment I will do my best to get you and others the answers and advice. You have heard the phrase "it is not what you know, but who you know". That clearly describes my life because I maintain an extensive network of corporate technical professional and management people, fellow faculty members at numerous universities, past students, and Internet contacts. What I don't know I can find out about. Read my biography for more info.Top

China Paper
Early in 2002, I was invited to speak and author a paper for the 1st Annual China (Hangzhou) International Conference on Finance Engineering & Finance Development held in Chaohui Xinchun, Hangzhou, P. R. China on November 7, 2002 through November 10, 2002. The conference leadership invited me because of my recent work with several companies in China and my technology management background and experience. Unfortunately, at the last minute I wasn't able to attend so my paper was read aloud at the conference.
Feel free to read my
paper,
THE EVOLUTION OF FOUR TECHNOLOGICAL CONCEPTS AND THEIR RAMIFICATIONS ON CURRENT & FUTURE WORLD MARKETS, published in the conference proceedings.
