About the author

Originally from Ohio . . . graduate of Kent State University (BA 1971, MA 1973) . . . moved to Philadelphia, Pa. and completed a PhD at Temple University . . . wrote Franchising: The Inside Story and by surprise it created a career opportunity -- I left college teaching and developed a consulting business that specialized in marketing franchised and entrepreneurial businesses. That experience led to dozens of rewarding relationships that are spread through various parts of the world. In the process I developed skills as a writer, marketer, speaker, trainer. Eventually moved to Dallas, Texas, sold my business, served on corporate boards, continued writing books, owned a couple of franchises, and ultimately served as CEO of a franchise company with 260 franchisees. One of my long-term goals was to return to a university to teach and write, and I did so in 2010 at Gulf University for Science & Technology. In Kuwait! Happy to join the business and communications faculty and am enjoying the adventure.
