I have been teaching marketing and management courses at Long Island University since 1991, when I started as a full-time instructor at the Southampton Campus. I have been at the Brooklyn Campus since 2002.

According to a letter from the society, "Each year we invite faculty and/or administrators who have challenged, moved or made an impact on students, especially freshmen, in some important way to become honorary members."
