Peter Margaritis CSP, CPA
Peter Margaritis is the Director for the School of Accounting Communi- cation Center and an Instructor of Professional Practice for the School of Accounting at Oklahoma State University. He is a virtual and in-per- son speaker, improv virtuoso, podcaster, and the author of “Improv Is No Joke: Using Improvisation to Create Positive Results in Leadership and in Life” and “Taking the Numb Out of Numbers: Explaining and Pre- senting Financial Information with Confidence and Clarity.” During his time as a corporate CPA, Peter took improv classes and per- formed stand-up comedy. Communicating directly with audiences was life-changing, and Peter discovered his true passion: Teaching what he knew rather than being a practicing CPA. That led him to university faculty positions where Peter combined his accounting skills with his improv performance skills. He realized his students not only learned more when they were entertained and engaged, but they also retained that knowledge and could apply it in new situations.
