Hello, I am Chris Housman

Introduction

My name is Chris Housman, and I will be your instructor this semester for Introduction to Business. I am very excited to be teaching this course! My favorite part of this curriculum looking at all of the different parts of the business cycle and process. Do you know all of the steps it takes and all of the different people or careers that play a role in getting your favorite products to you? I am confident you will discover at least one new aspect of business, but hopefully more, that will prove helpful for you as a consumer and a future professional.

What do you want students to know about you?

My Career

I have taught middle school for 6 years in Norman, Oklahoma. I was also the athletic director and coached several sports including, softball, basketball, and football. We were a one-to-one school that when the pandemic started began building our courses in Canvas. As a student completing my master's degree during the pandemic, I had the opportunity to see Canvas from both a graduate student and a teacher, which has given me unique insights into both the struggles and opportunities that online learning can present.

My Hobbies

I really enjoy golf and traveling. I am a big sports fan, Go, Drovers, congrats to some of our incredible teams this spring. I also follow all of our state university teams, and I am most passionate about Premier League Football team the Tottenham Hotspur. #NorthLondonIsOURS, #Championsleaguefootball
