EDUCATION
Northcentral University
Ph.D., Doctor of Philosophy in Business Administration, Anticipated 2012
Major: Financial Management
Dissertation: "An empirical analysis of the relationship between appropriate valuation
of publicly traded, investor-owned utilities and their ten-year return on
investment."
Implications for Positive, Constructive, Social Change: If a relationship between firm valuation and return-on-investment could be established (a positive correlation), then this might indicate whether or not undervalued firms that have strong ROIs could be appropriate for inclusion in an investment portfolio. This theory could then possibly have larger societal applications for the evaluation of all securities (inferential) in the marketplace with regard to their possible inclusion in a private investor or institutional investment portfolio.
Additional Research Project: "Corporate officer's symposium for international trade."
Implications for Positive, Constructive, Social Change: The contemporary purpose of this application construct was the prospective enlightenment of corporate "C-class" officers so that these officers were more aware of the constructive choices available for international trade. These officers would then be better informed to effectively conduct such trade in order to promote global "win-win" trading between nations.
Additional Research Project: "Compliancy symposium for bankers."
Implications for Positive, Constructive, Social Change: The contemporary purpose of this application construct was the prospective enforcement of regulatory compliancy with the theoretical, proposed requirements for central bank fiscal reporting transparency after central bank independence.
Additional Research Project: "An econometric construct for use in economic forecasting."
Implications for Positive, Constructive, Social Change: The contemporary purpose of this application construct was the development of a theoretical, overall structure of how an economic computer model could be used in an application to conduct economic forecasting. Although this may prove to be a platform for further research, it was postulated that further research was necessary in this field to promote the development of a useful tool for practical application.
Additional Research Project: "Behavioral psychology and a career counseling assessment
tool for business student placement and counseling."
Implications for Positive, Constructive, Social Change: The contemporary purpose of this application construct was the authorship of the overall structure of how an assessment tool would be constructed and implemented to facilitate the career counseling of prospective business students in transition from high school to a work-based educational school or to a college, freshman-level set of courses.

COURSE AND CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT
The National College of Business and Technology
COURSE DEVELOPMENT
All courses taught at this institution required the development of an individualized prospectus. A prospectus for each course taught at these campuses is available upon request.
GRADING PLATFORM
Developed and wrote the computer software that was accepted by both campuses in the Memphis, Tennessee area (at the request of the Program Director over the Bartlett Campus). The computer grading platform became required for use by all instructors (for grade submission at the conclusion of each term) at both campuses and this instructor taught the mandatory professional development courses to instruct the faculty at both campuses in the use of that grading software package.
APPLICATIONS DEVELOPMENT
Developed and wrote the computer software that was used as an Accounting Class remedial intervention to: A) provide remedial support as a self-paced, Accounting Laboratory workshop to supplement the class texts; B) provide laboratory drills to support more advanced Accounting skills in journalizing and posting to prepare the students for my class term project (the development of a corporation's set of financial statements); C) provide an assessment instrument for the Director of Student Services when an Accounting Class tutor was necessary (to demonstrate weak areas where the student needed an additional focus from the assigned tutor).
COLLEGE LEVEL TEACHING QUALIFICATIONS
