I teach Principles of Macro and Micro Economics, Economic Geography, Fundamentals of Economics, Financial Management and International Marketing. I enjoy traveling to every part of the world; I trekked threw the Himalayas, road the elevator to the top of the Effie tower, Prayed on the mount where Jesus was crucified, over his tomb in Jerusalem, attended a special Mass with Pope Benedict XIV, snow mobiled across the Arctic Circle, scuba dived off the Island of Borneo and climbed down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. When I am not traveling I am educating students about the state of our country’s economy in an interactive and exiting way!

Courses Taught: Principles of Accounting, Managerial Accounting, Survey of Economics I grew up in a small town and have lived in both Washington, but also Alaska for several years. My hobbies have been or are, flying, scuba diving, woodworking, and rebuilding old trucks. The reasons that I teach are because of students. I thoroughly enjoy the interaction and seeing people develop new skills or sharpen the ones they already have.

Courses Taught: Principles of Accounting, Payroll and Business Taxes, QuickBooks, Excel for Accountants; Fundamentals of Bookkeeping, Peachtree. I love to teach accounting because beginning students get very excited when it all clicks. When I was a teenager my parents started their own business and I was able to keep their accounting records. Accounting always made sense to me and I liked being able to explain the fundamentals to anyone who would listen. After working in public accounting and private industry I realized that I wanted to do something different. Teaching allows me to stay in a field I love AND share the subject with many.

I was born and grew up in Southern California. After earning my BA at a small college in Illinois, I returned to my home state for graduate study at UCLA, where I earned my MA and Ph.D. in Economics. I then spent several years as a “freeway flier,” teaching at a variety of colleges, both 2 and 4-year, in the Los Angeles area. I moved to Spokane in 2001 when I was hired full-time at SFCC, and have been here ever since. When I’m not teaching I like reading and movies, and I’m also involved with, and am a former Chair of, the Browne’s Addition Neighborhood Council.
