Meet the Team at Mathnasium of Warner Robins

Jeff Rucker

Jeff & his wife Christine own the Mathnasium in Macon & 3 Mathnasiums in the Augusta, GA market. Jeff was the Chief Meteorologist at the NBC affiliate in Augusta, for 12 years, before opening the first Mathnasium (in 2011). His decision to open Mathnasium was a logical follow-on to all his previous work as a Navy and broadcast meteorologist. Jeff often jokes that meteorology is 70% math, 20% science and 10% art. “I think I took more math classes in college and grad school than I did weather classes.” Since beginning his broadcast meteorology career back in 1996, Jeff has made school visits and weather education outreach a top priority. From pre-K to high school, Jeff has spoken to hundreds of classrooms all over the Augusta area. And, since opening the Mathnasium in Evans, GA - Jeff has helped hundreds and hundreds of students not only become stronger math thinkers but also become more confident students. He is excited to meet the needs of the Warner Robins students & their families.

Christine Rucker

Christine, Jeff's wife, is his biggest cheerleader and is so excited to be involved with Mathnasium in the Warner Robins area! She is the behind-the-scenes staple that keeps it all together. Christine holds a B.S. in Communications from Old Dominion University. She has worked as a news producer at NBC and CBS in Norfolk VA and at the NBC affiliate in Augusta, GA. Her experience line producing local news helps her juggle all the ins and outs of the Centers. As a mother to two college students, Christine knows how to make kids feel comfortable, encouraged and welcomed! She's excited about seeing you at the center very soon.

Nice to meet you, I'm Jackie! I am a math major from Kennesaw State University. I believe math is the language of the universe and everyone deserves the opportunity to speak it and understand it. I make learning a top priority in my home - I am a mother to two. I am excited to help your son or daughter become a stronger math thinker!

I look forward to meeting you at our Center very soon!

David

Hello, I'm David! I graduated with a Bachelor's degree from the Evergreen State College where I studied both Physics & Programming. I know what it's like to be a student who struggles with math, as I used to be one myself. So, I know from personal experience that perseverance and having a positive outlook can make all the difference. Fun fact for you - Mathematics runs in my family : my great grandfather was a notable organic chemist named Morris S. Kharasch. I look forward to meeting you soon!!

Nate

Hello! It's nice to meet you, I’m Nate! I am a Media and Entertainment major at Kennesaw State University. Although I love music and entertainment, math has always been my first love, as I have been doing math problems since I was a toddler. Working with kids is also something that I love doing as I have been volunteering in my church’s youth ministry for over seven years! I love learning and teaching anyone and everyone about the great wonders of numbers! I look forward to meeting you at the Center soon!

Hi, My name is Aleasia. I am a Senior in High School and I am also a Dual Enrolled College Student. I am working towards a Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Computer Science. Someday, I hope to work for NASA where I can use my strong Math & Science Foundation to excel on my Career Journey. Working at Mathnasium not only allows me to help other students, but I also benefit from reinforcing the skills and development I’ve already mastered. I look forward to meeting you soon!
