Meet the Prof

I have called Singapore home since 2002, following a range international assignments in Argentina, Finland, Germany, Slovenia, and Japan.  I now enjoy family life in Asia and all the benefits which come with it--including beautiful beaches, rising cost of living, delicious food, too many rules handed down from on high, competent public servants, and amazing history and diversity. 

These days I tend to give 98% of my time to either family or work, which really means that I love learning.  My kids teach me something new each week, if not each day, and I love it.  The same priveledge of learning also comes with being a Prof at Singapore Management University where I teach Managing Corporate Reputation and Its Risks, Digital Media Across Asia, and a variety of leadership programs through our executive education office.

As a consultant, I work with organizations to help plan and deliver communication initiatives, digital media campaigns, and leadership development programs.

For the remainder of 2010 I will not be teaching much, and instead will focus on my digital media research as a Fellow to the Society for New Communication Research.

So what do I spend that remaining 2% of my time on?  Well, if I ever get the opportunity to open a novel I love John Fowles, Milan Kundera, Jospeph Mitchell, Norman Maclean and a few others.  I also frequent the movie theaters, coffee shops, and pubs of Singapore in search of good entertainment or weiss beer.  I would love to complete my rescue diver course in 2010, if time and work permist. And that dream of being a chef...well, let's just say it remains a dream.

You can hear me each week on the For Immediate Release podcast reporting on the PR and digital media news from Asia.
