Why I Like Economics
A little knowledge really goes a long way. Take the
simple supply and demand model. You can explain why Michael Jordan makes
millions of dollars a year, and Nike basketball shoes cost $150 a pair, and at
the same time explain why some people can’t afford a bagel for breakfast.
Why I Like Teaching
I enjoy learning and never get tired of asking
questions. Teaching is a continuous journey back and forth between the forest
and the trees. The walk still thrills me.
What I Like To Do
Be with family and friends; wife Shaun (19 years!),
daughter Nicole (17), son Zack (11)
Play and watch sports: golf, basketball, football
Be outdoors: hiking, swimming, camping,
sitting around a fire
Eat: pasta, Chinese, ice cream

Quotes
Work like you don't need the money. Love like
you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody's watching. (Satchel Paige)
Half of life really bites, the other half is totally
awesome. ( Zack Sicotte at age 8.)
