Hello, I am a part-time
student at Eastern Illinois University.
I came to the United States in May of 1975 right at the end of the Vietnam
War. I have since lived pretty much in the Midwestern States, ranging
from Oklahoma, to Nebraska to Illinois.
I
am currently teaching in the Department of Economics at Eastern Illinois
University which I joined in August 1987. I enjoy what I am doing very
much, which entails interacting with students at both the graduate and
undergraduate levels. I also undertake various research projects within
my fields of specialization which are Public Finance, Economic Development,
and Econometrics.
I
love to play tennis, both singles and doubles. You may say that I am a
die-hard tennis player. Due to my busy schedule this semester, I have
been playing at 7 in the morning, much to the chagrin of my fellow partners.
I also enjoy listening to classical music. My favorite composers are Vivaldi,
Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms.
