My academic research examines how brands engage and co-create/collaborate with their various stakeholders through technology to create value. Currently, I am working on projects that focus on how brands can leverage new tools such as AI and AR/VR to better engage consumers and support brand objectives without losing the human element.

From a teaching perspective I take a practical and applied approach, bringing almost two decades of industry experience to the classroom.  I believe it is very important to not just read about or hear about concepts, but it is important to actually do them.  Each of my classes includes some form of applied learning project, most of which include a partnership with local Wichita businesses and nonprofit organizations.

Outside of the classroom and my office I am an avid soccer fan (Y.N.W.A.), wannabe documentary filmmaker.
