About Me

Greetings students-

Are you looking to hammer down a tough subject while having some fun at the same time? Likewise, are you interested in learning how academic concepts apply to the real world?

If so, I might be a good fit for your needs. In terms of my background, I'm a published author, MBA, and 5th Degree Black Belt in Taekwondo.

For the past five years, I've managed the finance, development, and marketing operations for major hotels on the Las Vegas Strip including the Venetian, Palazzo, and Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. In these roles, I've worked extensively with investment banks, senior executives, consulting firms, and state agencies to develop funding and operating strategies for major integrated resorts.

With respect to writing, I'm an avid fiction enthusiast with a strong interest in inspirational works and satire. My first novel, "The Adventures of Zach Vallor - Arch Angel Extraordinaire" has been published by Penguin Press. You can find it on Amazon, Apple, and Barnes & Noble.

In terms of teaching, I've benefited from a life that has allowed me to interact with all types of people. I don't believe in 'one size fits all'. While it's important to have a structured curriculum, each student is unique and learning subjects should be adaptable to individual needs.

Results are extremely important. I support academic concepts through practical case studies, real-world examples, and social media connections.
