He is co-author of the book World Religions in Brief which reflects his interest in
human cultures, and the tremendous effect religion has had on the various civilizations
of humanity right up until the present day. He currently serves as an Assistant Professor
in the Division of Business at Ohio Dominican University, teaching both undergraduate
and graduate courses in Finance, International Business, Marketing, and Corporate
Information Strategy & Management.
