Growing up on a small cattle farm in Ozark, AR, I saw first hand 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 Bachelors of Science in Accounting, I earned a MBA from Webster University, in St Louis. I am currently in final stages of earning a 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.
