Nico Arguello

I was born and raised in Argentina and came to the United States in pursuit of a better future for myself and my family. In college, I was exposed to the truth of the gospel that pierced my heart and led me to surrender my life to Jesus. After completing my accounting degrees and working for 8 years in industry/consulting, I decided to pursue a career in academia, which led to me joining the accounting PhD program at the University of Tennessee and ultimately to a faculty position at Ole Miss. On the more personal side, I am married to an incredible woman who fears the Lord and we have 3 beautiful girls (and one more baby on the way).
