A little about Me

I am back!!!

I was interviewed on using Twitter in the classroom, November 2013: Classroom Tech

Here is a radio interview I did (09/12): From B School to Barbaro at University of Delaware.

My book is available on Amazon: Greatness and Goodness: Barbaro and His Legacy.

What I did: I used to teach at the University of Delaware, work at the Wharton School, consult for Clear Admit and gallop horses at Fair Hill Training Center.

What I then did: In August 2007 I left Fair Hill on a road trip via racetracks as I continued to maintain alexbrownracing.com. I have worked at Penn National, Presque Isle Downs, Keeneland, Churchill Downs and Sam Houston Race Park. I finished up Woodbine in Canada working for Steve Asmussen.

What I am now doing: I am back at University of Delaware, teaching, and at Fair Hill galloping. I also do book signings and book talks.

My Articles, Presentations and Media Coverage

Through 2006 my articles and presentations focused on the Internet and how the Internet could be used for MBA Admissions. Since 2006 my focus has shifted along with my use of the Internet. I followed the racehorse Barbaro's struggle for life and now his ongoing legacy. I write about horse slaughter and other horse welfare issues. * = Published Articles.
