I hold appointments at Baylor University’s Hankamer School of Business as the Frank S. Groner Memorial Chair of Finance, Professor of Finance & Insurance, and Baugh Center Research Fellow. I have previously held business school faculty appointments at three other universities: Louisiana State University, the University of Texas at Austin, and Pennsylvania State University. At Baylor, I teach courses in finance and risk management, and my research involves the application of finance and economics to the analysis, pricing, and management of risk. I serve as an associate editor for the Geneva Risk and Insurance Review, and I am a past President of two academic associations: the American Risk and Insurance Association and the Risk Theory Society.
