About Me
Hello! My first job out of college was with Thomson Publishing. I was a sales representative in Southern California and sold social science textbooks at two- and four-year colleges. I loved that job! There is a wonderful energy to being on campus with students and instructors. After a couple of successful years I transferred to Northern California and sold business, science, and mathematics textbooks for Harcourt College Publishing. The two companies merged and there were literally hundreds of different titles to sell. I left the industry for a few years and moved back to my hometown to start a family. When Pat McKeague started MathTV and XYZTextbooks, I signed on. I love my job! I love making a difference to students and saving them money. Our goal as a company is to save students money on course materials while giving them confidence in Mathematics.

This eBook is really easy to use and I got to approved the colors and I think it is inviting and cheerful! (Yes, fuchsia in a math book!)
Mr. McKeague's Spiral of Roots video
The video shows what he loves about math and the video shows off his 'perfect teacher' handwriting.
