My Teaching Philosophy

  1. “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.”
  2. “I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.”
  3. “All education is self-education. A teacher is only a guide, to point out the way, and no school, no matter how excellent, can give you education. What you receive is like the outlines in a child’s coloring book. You must fill in the colors yourself.”
  4. Trophies are for winners!

Why I am at NU

To teach at America’s free market business school about the beauty, efficiency, morality and justice of an entrepreneurial society based on God-given human rights, individual freedoms and personal responsibility.
