Was my marketing prof at Seneca, King campus, late '90's. Condescending, holier-than-thou, ego-maniac who loved watching students squirm - almost as much as he loved patting himself on the back and dropping hints as to how much money he had/inherited. I guess he's making the college rounds now. Wanted to leave my name, but it's against guidelines.
