I am an applied economist. I teach Principles of Economics, Economic Development, Rural Economics to undergraduate students and Microeconomics and Managerial Economics to graduate students. I have taught at Radford University for 10 years. Previously I taught at the University of Texas at Dallas and the Hilo and Manoa Campuses of the University of Hawaii.
I am interested in international affairs, the environment, global security and world peace. Currently, I am collaborating with faculty at Virginia Tech, the Administrative Staff College of India, Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, and Beijing Normal University on projects related to environment and economic development.
I like to travel. I like to watch professional basketball and football. I have run 9 marathons in Honolulu, Washington D.C. and Charlotte, North Carolina. I enjoy music and the movies.
I was born in Secunderabad, India and raised as an "army brat". So I have adapted to many places as I grew up. My residence is in Floyd county, Virginia about 9 miles from the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway. My longest period of stay in any one place was in Honolulu, Hawaii. Because of its Aloha, I consider it a home away from home.
