Here are some pictures of friends and colleagues of mine...


Mark Davis was my dissertation chair at the University of Kentucky and I consider him a friend and mentor.  We still work together on research projects and he gives me advise on research methods.  He is now on the faculty at the University of North Texas in Denton.


Orlando “Curtae” Richard is a good friend and co-author.  I met him during my doctoral studies at the University of Kentucky.  We initially became friends because we were both from warm climates (he is from Louisiana and I am from Arizona) and neither of us liked the cold Kentucky winters complete with snow and ice storms.  We came to realize that in addition to liking warm weather that we share an interest in diversity in the workplace.  We have collaborated on several research papers exploring the impacts of both race and sex within organizations.  Orlando is currently on the faculty at the University of Texas in Dallas (where it is warm).


I met Willem Homen when he was an MBA student and I was an undergraduate at Arizona State.  Willem is a pilot and he is on the faculty at Western Michigan University, where he teaches aviation classes.

 


 

Andy Grimes was a professor at the University of Kentucky.  Radical organizational theory is Andy's specialty.  He also makes a mean "non-functionalist" bean dip!  I have tried unsuccessfully to get the recipe several times.  One of these days...


Ben Tepper was a professor at the University of Kentucky when I was a there as a doctoral student.  He served on my comprehensive exam committee and on my dissertation committee.  Ben's area of research is organizational behavior.
