Roy J. Stein serves as Professor of Management at Nazareth College's School of Business and Leadership, where he has taught since 1984. He bridges academic theory with real-world industry experience through his dual expertise in business law and music production, while fostering student connections through industry networks and campus initiatives.
His educational foundation includes:
- B.A. in Economics and History from Hobart College
- J.D. from SUNY at Buffalo
Stein's research focuses on the intersection of business ethics and creative industries, particularly examining how management principles apply to music business operations, digital recording workflows, and artist development. His work emphasizes practical application through student-run ventures like Naz Recordz, where theoretical concepts in marketing, accounting, and intellectual property law are implemented in real recording projects. He argues that music/business education creates versatile professionals who maintain creative integrity while developing commercial acumen.

As a mentor, Stein actively connects students with industry opportunities through his extensive network, exemplified by Ashley Villone '12's internship-to-employment path with Nik and the Nice Guys. He co-founded Naz Recordz—an on-campus label providing hands-on experience in artist management, social media marketing, and recording engineering—demonstrating his commitment to experiential learning. While specific research grants aren't detailed, his initiatives consistently secure industry partnerships for student development.
Stein leads the student-professional collaborative band nobody's marigold performing at regional venues and festivals, while also directing Naz Recordz operations. His campus meditation sessions, rooted in 25+ years of Zen practice, complement his music industry work by fostering mindfulness in high-pressure creative environments. The clock in his office displaying 'now' instead of numbers visually embodies his philosophy of present-moment engagement in both teaching and artistic pursuits.
