Bourbon was born in Lexington, Kentucky, and earned his first two academic degrees at the University of Kentucky. After working in corporate America, he enrolled in a PhD program at The Ohio State University. Upon earning his doctorate, he joined the faculty at Duke University and later taught at other top business schools including in the United Kingdom at the University of Warwick. Dr. Bourbon has taught undergraduates, MBAs, PhDs, and in numerous executive programs. After decades of authoring research articles, business cases, and five college textbooks he was up for a new challenge—writing novels. This debut novel, Romance in My Rambler, is the first in The Class President Series (www.theclasspresidentseries.com). It is the story about a US baby boomer coming of age amidst the upheavals of the 1950s and 1960s. He has been working on this novel and others, in bits and pieces, for thirty years. Dr. Bourbon lives in south Florida and enjoys writing, boating, beaches, and sunshine. He is an avid sports fan, and if time permits, he reads astronomy books.view less
