“Dr. Ewen was my Business Professor at Colorado Christian University. The education I received from him has been vital to the success I have experienced as an entrepreneur and small business owner. One course that was specifically useful in my career was PSDM (Problem Solving and Decision Making), brilliantly taught by Dr. Ewen.
After receiving my business degree, Dr. Ewen and I reconnected and he has been a wonderful friend and mentor for the last 15 years. I hold Gary’s opinion and wisdom in the highest regard. Whenever I am dealing with difficult issues both personally and professionally, I am always comforted that I have him in my corner to help guide my decisions.”
