BIOGRAPHY 

I am an associate accounting professor and hold both the Deloitte Foundation
Leadership Professorship and the Andersen Students Professorship in Accounting.
I received a Ph.D. in Accounting from the University of Texas, and I have a CPA
license to practice accounting in Texas.  I spend most of my days immersed in
the world of accounting, where I teach and create exciting research. 

My passion lies at the intersection of law and accounting, where I investigate
complex issues related to litigation, fraud, misreporting, and corporate
governance. Additionally, I am interested in banks' behavior and financial
reporting, such as fair value accounting, risk-taking, reporting quality; and
accounting standard setting, such as due process, comment letters, and standard
characteristics. My interdisciplinary research has been published 24 times and
can be found in leading scholarly journals in accounting, finance, law, and
economics. 

As a teacher, I prioritize critical thinking and real-world application in my
classes. I have taught financial accounting to students at all levels, from
introductory to advanced. I currently co-teach accounting theory to master's
students and a capital markets seminar to doctoral students. 

Before becoming a professor, I worked as a Senior Associate at
PricewaterhouseCoopers in their advisory and consulting practice in New York and
as a postgraduate technical assistant at the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) in Connecticut. I also have prior audit experience in Texas and New
York. I primarily worked with clients in the financial service industry. My
engagements spanned from implementing new standards, structuring transactions to
meet accounting and finance objectives, fair value accounting, IFRS conversion,
derivative identification, and financial due diligence. 

In my (limited) free time, I love to hang out with my amazing wife, our
sparkling (and spunky) daughter, and our lazy and goofy dog. I am involved in
multiple church ministries and like to unwind with a good book. Among other
things, I am slowly working through a list of the 100 greatest novels of all
time, combining several online lists to reduce the influence of idiosyncratic
taste functions.
