I have been a marketing professor at the University of Alberta in the past 13 years. Most of research interests have been in the area of consumer shopping behaviour and consumer bidding behaviour in auctions.

In September 2002, I started CampusAuctionMarket.com, for academic purposes to collect data on bidding behaviour in auctions. Currently I am conducting research on theoretical and empirical issues related to auctions, such as, the effectiveness of reserve prices and buy now prices in auctions; different bidding strategies used by bidders; product bundling in auctions.

My favorite hobbies include: traveling, hiking and climbing, skiing, field hockey, and table tennis.

I started working for CampusAuctionMarket.com ever since the site launched in September 2002. I help to create promotional materials, administer the site and answer email inquiries, and organize promotional auctions. I am a 5th year student at the University of Alberta specializing in Marketing and minoring in International Business. During my spare time, I like to golf, draw, and travel. Hope you all like using this free local auction site.

I have been associated with CampusAuctionMarket.com since September 2003 because I like the challenges of introducing new products and ideas into the market place. I am in charge of promoting CampusAuctionMarket.com to the Edmonton community and local businesses, and assisting sellers, if required, to plan and execute events according to their needs. I brought 5 years of marketing experiences with me from various industries; Finance, IT and Telecommunication. I am currently completing my MBA at the University of Alberta and have chosen an “International Business” specialization.

My Favorite quotation is: “Most people look at things as they are and ask the question why are they like that but I like to see things as they should be and ask the question why not.”

From the initial design to the more technical side, I am responsible for the CampusAuctionMarket.com web site. On the other side of things, I create and design the organization’s print materials which includes posters, flyers and business cards. I am currently working towards a B.A. in Economics and heading up Arcticmedia, a web design and computer retail company. I like to spend my free time playing hockey and enjoying good company.

I take on many roles for the auction site but spend most time on marketing coordination efforts. Main responsibilities involve organizing promotional auctions, contacting bidders to finalize transactions, as well as some administrative tasks in the CampusAuctionMarket.com Main Office. I'm a 4th year student at the U of A working towards a BComm, majoring in Management Information Systems and minoring in Operations Management. As for my history, most of my work experience revolves around IT and have already been with CampusAuctionMarket.com for two years. Anyways, I think you've all heard enough from me, happy bidding to all!
