Gordon Ray

First and foremost, I love to watch things grow and change, especially people and their ideas. This is the driving force behind both my professional and personal interests.

My professional interests lean toward entrepreneurship, organizational relationships, and culture. Favorite sources include social/cultural anthropology, design thinking, entrepreneurship/innovation, management/leadership trends, commerce & economics, and sustainable development.

Prior to the field of education, I came from commerce, with experience in wholesale / retail operations: merchandising, customer service & relations, shipping & receiving, purchasing and supply chain logistics, on-site marketing, and professional development & training.

In addition to my teaching interests, I'm helping my wife develop an experimental small-scale farming project in Saint Julien-en-Vercors, with a focus on optimizing sustainable production techniques and community development.
