He grew up there to earn his bachelor's degree from Loyola College by 1960. Although still virtually a refugee, and his family trying to stabilize, he immigrated to the USA in 1961 in pursuit of a new life. Always a curious, creative, and brilliant mind, he went on to earn his Ph.D. in consumer behavior from the University of Pittsburgh by 1966.Since then, for almost six decades now, his personal and professional journey has been an expanding universe of outstanding accomplishments, contributions, and accolades in fields of education, research, literature, and thought-leadership.
