“Professor Long is a great instructor. His approach in the classroom kept the entire class attentive and engaged in the subject matter. His thorough instruction on financial investments gave me a solid foundation of financial markets, financial instruments, and a greater understanding of investment strategies.”

About
As the Deputy Director of Finance and Management at the City of Columbus, I oversee the annual budget preparation and execution for the general, grant, and enterprise funds, as well as the capital improvements budget and the city's central procurement office. With more than 19 years of experience in public sector finance, I have developed strong analytical, data, and process improvement skills that enable me to provide fiscal and policy advice to the executive and managerial staff of the city.
In addition to my current role, I have been teaching courses at Franklin University since 2003, where I have received multiple awards for excellence in teaching. I hold a B.S. and an MBA in Finance from The Ohio State University. I am passionate about public service and delivering value to the citizens of Columbus, and I strive to foster a culture of transparency, accountability, and innovation.
