I reflect on my personal view about education and philosophy by my reality to shape my own belief about knowledge. When I start reflecting on the conception of the reality of human nature and of society, I am philosophizing about education. Being very general about my philosophy, it is my attempt to think speculatively, reflectively, and systematically about our universe and my relation to this great planet. I can view myself anywhere between the terms of living the life of an idealist and a realist. An idealist will define reality in a spiritual or non-material way, while a realist views reality as an order of objects that exists independently of human beings. My years in business and being on the outside world with respect to education, still keeps me pretty sharp and updated about my philosophy of education. I can easily say that I have taken and made part of my experience, practices, and observations of my past life part of this philosophy of mine. 

My education background includes a BA in Commerce & Business from the University of Karachi, Karachi, Pakistan, an MBA in Marketing from Gannon University, Erie, Pennsylvania, and a Ph.D. in Entrepreneurship and International Education from the University of the Incarnate Word, San Antonio, Texas.
