Junior hotel and food service management major Brittany Pedersen has class with Yseth, and she finds his teaching style beneficial.
"I like that he has had real-life experience within the industry," she said. "He uses it within his lectures and it brings about a whole new perspective. There is nothing better than that."
Once the year is over, Yseth may decide to obtain his master's; however, at the time, he's not worried about it.
"I want to see if I survive the year or semester first," he said. "If I deliver a good product, then I'll see what my choices are."
If Yseth does not continue teaching, he said his "entrepreneurial vein" is still there, and he may try to get another business position.
"I saw this as an opportunity. I'm 58, and it's not something I'm going to do when I'm 70," he said. "You only live once, so I gave it a whirl."
Yseth has been a Brookings resident for 35 years. He moved here in 1971 after graduating from Saint John's University in Minnesota.
Besides a desire for educating students, Yseth enjoys hunting, fishing and golfing.
He is married and has three daughters.
