Bill Quain is the author of 19 books on Marketing, Personal Success, and Free Enterprise. He has sold more than 2 million copies, and his books are translated into 20 languages. Dr. Quain travels extensively, speaking to audiences of all sizes. Besides the United States, he has been a speaker in China, Canada, The United Kingdom, Mexico, Europe and the Carribean. Dr. Quain was a business professor for more than 25 years. He was named Outstanding Teaching Professor by four universities. His students learned more than just theories, as Dr. Quain challenged them with real-life examples. Unlike most faculty members, who taught students to, settle for a job, and ask for raises to survive, he taught his students to create wealth through personal initiative. He wanted to give his students the keys to Financial Freedom. He graduated from Cornell University, Florida International University and the University of New Orleans. Before entering academia, he owned and operated a hotel, was a Food and Beverage Director and an Executive Chef. For many years he has been a business consultant and analyst.

In 2001 he co-created and hosted a PBS television cooking show for the blind called Cooking Without Looking. In 2006 Oscar-winning actress Marlee Matlin asked him to appear on ABC's Extreme Makeover, Home Edition. Bill cannot drive a car, but he solved his transportation problems at Florida International University in Miami by kayaking to work for six years.
