Growing up on a small cattle farm in Ozark, AR, I saw firsthand what drives prices of livestock (feed, hay, natural disasters, etc). I attended University of Ozarks from 1991-1995, and chose this school because of the small atmosphere. After receiving my Bachelor’s of Science in Accounting, I earned an MBA from Webster University, in St Louis. I have also completed my DBA from Walden University. I love teaching at Ozarks, as I am able to give back to the community that once inspired me to become the person I am today.
