Davis was revered as an extremely dedicated teacher in the taxation sequence of the Tull School. He graduated from Boston University with a B.S. degree and a degree in law. He received his MBA from New York University and his Ph.D from the University of Alabama-Birmingham. Davis retired from the University of Georgia after 30 years on the faculty, but remained engaged with the Tull School and the Athens community for many years following his retirement. He received many awards during his career. He directed the accounting internship program and served as faculty advisor to Beta Alpha Psi.
