Everyone there was just willing to help me answer any questions I had, even as I was just a senior in high school who didn't even know if he would get accepted and then ultimately when that uh when that decision date came out i knew right away that this was a an incredible institution and somewhere where i would be lucky to spend the next four years so really been enjoying that and then yeah over the first two years i uh i really just made it a goal to say yes to any and every given opportunity, which ultimately ended up allowing me to join a professional business fraternity on campus, a social fraternity, and then a couple intro to investment banking clubs as well.

So I've spent my entire academic career here at the University of Illinois in the Gies College of Business, although it wasn't the Gies College of Business whenever I started in 2003.

I'm an accountancy academic, so I'm a full endowed professor in the Department of Accountancy, which happens to be the number one undergraduate accountancy program anywhere in the world.
