Martin believes his classroom strength is relating academic concepts and principles to his past and current work experiences.

Prior to my career in academics, I spent 26 years working in business. My business career encompassed information technology and management, primarily in the finance industry. I often use my business experiences in the classroom to help students see the connections between theory and application.

In my academic career of the last 20 years, I have had the opportunity to teach full-time and live in the USA as well as in many other countries, including Malaysia, China, Viet Nam, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Costa Rica, Burkina Faso, Turkey, France, and Austria. I like to use my international experiences in the classroom to help students explore global issues.

My research interests include management and ethics. My published articles on these subjects have appeared in domestic and international journals. I have made presentations related to these areas in the USA and internationally.

My wife Rebecca and I have been married for 46 years and we have two children and seven grandchildren. In my leisure time, I enjoy family, travelling, music, movies, cooking, carpentry, and scuba diving.
