Experience Summary
I am an ex-professor of Economics and Economic Geography, and taught at Texas A&M University-College Station, Illinois State University and Pepperdine University - International MBA Program. I am also the former Senior Economist for The TCW Group, Caterpillar, General Motors and Warner Bros. I specialize in Economics (international, development, trade, agricultural and natural resources).
Teaching Style
I want students to see learning as fun, and an on-going process, not just a process of memorizing facts and figures.
My Hobbies
Scuba diving, caving/spelunking, camping, landscape photography, interior/industrial/architectural design.
Other Comments
I am bilingual (English/Spanish), so if you need to work in Spanish, that is fine.
