I am proud to be teaching mathematics at the University of Oklahoma.  I came to the University of Oklahoma to pursue a lifelong passion and desire to teach, after a career as a textbook publisher and chairman and CEO of Saxon Publishers, Inc.

How did I come to teach at OU ?  In September 2001, my wife and I were at a reception honoring the incoming dean of the business school Dennis Logue at the home of Harold Powell, founder and chairman emeritus of Harolds Stores, Inc. and a former member of the Board of the Saxon Publishers.  For dinner, David Boren, President of the University, came to sit at our small table with my wife and me and another couple.  During the conversation, I mentioned that sometime in the future I planned to move east to pursue a lifelong desire to teach whereupon President Boren interjected "Why don't you consider coming to OU ?"  I was flattered but also so flustered that I quickly changed the subject without following up on his question.  One year later, I thought the time had come for me to leave my position of Saxon Publishers.  The company was approaching 250 employees and I was feeling far removed from the classroom, which is where my heart was.  I wrote a letter to President Boren reminding him our our conversation.  A week later, I received the following lovely handwritten note from President Boren sent from New Mexico where he was vacationing.  Click here to see a copy of the note.  Because of President Boren's personal attention and invitation, I am here at the University today and hoping that I can assist in its noble mission of educating its vast student body.  I am particularly proud to announce that the course I taught last spring was ranked at the 97th percentile (university-wide compared with about 785 other classes) by students in the answer to the question "Overall, this course is (1) poor  (2) fair  (3) good (4) very good  (5) excellent".  My students' answers averaged to be 4.583 compared to the math department's average of 3.213 and the university's average of 3.599.
