About
Richard Haskell, PhD, is a professor of finance at Westminster University's Bill and
Vieve Gore School of Business and director of the Center for Financial Wellness. After
a fulfilling career in finance and investments, he earned graduate degrees in economics
at the University of Utah. His research focuses on asset valuation methods, and models
and capital flows in the private capital markets.
His work extends beyond research and the classroom as he and his students engage the
private capital markets and small businesses through the Center for Financial Wellness,
Gore Consulting, and the University Valuation Group. Haskell and his students provide
much-needed resources to large and small businesses but have a particular focus on
providing for the needs of those owned by low-income, female-led, underrepresented,
and otherwise marginalized households.
Haskell teaches higher-order finance courses to seniors and graduate students in the
Gore School of Business and continues to hold a teaching appointment in the department
of economics at the University of Utah. He and his students have also developed and
taught non-matriculated, non-credit-bearing introductory courses in accounting, finance,
investment, economics, entrepreneurship, and business planning through community learning
centers in the region.
Haskell has a PhD and MS in economics from the University of Utah, and a BS in Family
Financial Planning and Counseling from Brigham Young University. Though clearly passionate
about the disciplines of finance and economics, his true passions are his wife, children,
and grandchildren.
"I've been married for over 40 years to a beautiful and patient wife, and have four
children and a growing number of grandchildren spread from Virginia to San Diego.
I'm actively involved in my church and serve on the boards of local charitable foundations.
When I have spare time, or when I used to have spare time, I spend it hiking, in my
shop building furniture, in my yard tending my ponds and gardens, and entertaining
and cooking for loved ones and guests. My life is full to say the very least and I'm
grateful for it. I'm one of those fortunate men who's allowed to spend time doing
what I love."
