I teach and have created a broad spectrum of entrepreneurship courses for delivery in the classroom and online with significant experience developing academic entrepreneurship programs, including centers and institutes, dating back to 1994. Teaching experiences in Djibouti (Africa), South Africa, Germany, Italy, South Korea, and Japan have given me the opportunity to observe entrepreneurship in cultures and economies outside of the United States. These experiences have broadened my entrepreneurial repertoire in consulting engagements and in the classroom.

These experiences have also helped me to understand the importance of aggregating theory and application in the classroom. I have found that by designing a curriculum rich in experiential learning opportunities and engaging students in a real world application of knowledge, I am able to provide a more impactful learning experience that will also translate into their professional lives. You can see an example of my work in curriculum development in the Cornell School of Hotel Administration. In my role as PIHE Academic Director I was charged with transforming the Hotel School entrepreneurship program from two courses into a program with a well thought out curriculum and a supporting Institute.
