He was awarded the DeVry University 2010 PRIDE Award, The Master Teacher Award for Keller Graduate School, 2010. He received The DeVry Innovative and Creative Teacher of the year, 2009, the Direct Marketing Association of NYC Silver Apple Award in 2003; Rutgers-Newark Hall of Fame, 1989; a 1972 Rotary International Fellowship, and he is a member of MENSA.
