I started my career in academia in 2003 as an adjunct at Marist teaching, Micro Economics, Financial Accounting, Financial Management and Investment Analysis.  I was at SUNY Dutchess from 2006 through 2011 as a faculty member, Faculty Advisor to the Business Club, Department Assessment Coordinator, Program Chair and Department Head.  In Fall 2011 I returned to Marist as a full-time member of the faculty.

As a consulatant I developed and delivered seminars on Credit Derivatives and the Credit Risk of OTC Derivatives.

Prior to entering academia I had a very rewarding 18 year career in international banking which included securities trader at First Boston and culminated with a London-based Managing Director position at Deutsche Bank responsible for a global staff of risk managers.

Early in my career I was an auditor with Arthur Andersen and a computer programmer for Mobil Oil.
