I have enjoyed teaching at Denison for 36 years. Prior to coming to Denison I taught economics for a year at The College of Wooster. I double majored in Mathematics and Economics at the Oklahoma College of Liberal Arts from which I graduated Summa Cum Laud. In addition to Masters and PH. D. from Southern Illinois University (Carbondale) I received advance training at the University of Rochester.
