Noah holds a Ph.D. in Accounting from Arizona State University and both a Bachelor and Master of Accountancy from Brigham Young University. Before entering academia, he worked as an IT auditor at Ernst & Young in Salt Lake City and as a systems implementation consultant at Squire & Company in Orem.
