If journals publish interesting research that facilitates a richer understanding of accounting and more effective accounting education, that is all we can ask. But there are more important things in life, such as family." Steven J. Kachelmeier, June, 2009, "Annual Report and Editorial Commentary for The Accounting Review." - more [[Quotes]]

====Why did you decide to pursue a PhD?====
"While pursuing both an undergraduate and graduate degree at BYU, I realized that the real draw of the academic environment was the opportunity to discover new knowledge. A Ph.D. is focused on training individuals to do just that."
