Richard M. Barry
Owner, RM Barry Publications

Richard BarryRichard Barry joined Melaleuca in 1991. He and his wife, Tina, achieved Director III status gradually working part-time before Richard decided to dedicate himself to publishing. Working in the chemical industry, Richard developed a keen interest in the health effects of toxic chemicals, many of which appear in common household products. Richard's first pamphlet, Let's Stop Poisoning Our Children! quickly became very popular and RM Barry Publications was born. This first pamphlet has now sold well over 2 million copies!

Richard was further inspired in 1996 by a conversation with Frank VanderSloot, Melaleuca's president and CEO, and quickly established relationships with authors Dr. Clark Hansen and Debra Lynn Dadd to begin the process of expanding his company's line of publications.

In 1996, Richard got the idea for a book about the Melaleuca company history. Over the years, he had collected information from various sources on the history of the company, and the background of Frank VanderSloot. Everything he learned convinced him further that there was something special about this company, and the story needed to be told — especially for those who were new to Melaleuca. After almost two years of research and numerous drafts, Built on Solid Principles, The Melaleuca Story was finally published in 1998.

The Shepherds PrayerRichard has self-published a Christmas book! It's called The Shepherds' Prayer—A Christmas Novel, pictured at right. The book is available in hardcover and audio book versions.

Richard lives with his wife and five children in Englewood, Colorado.

Sanford Botkin
Author of Tax Advantages For Your Home-Based Business

Sanford BotkinSandy Botkin is a tax lawyer, a CPA and a former IRS attorney. As an IRS attorney he worked for the Chief Counsels office of the IRS in Washington and trained other lawyers on how to get more tax dollars from the public.

As an IRS attorney he saw a great need. Small business owners just did not have the time or resources to know how to take advantage of tax breaks that the U.S. Congress had made available to them to help them grow.

Sandy knew and understood how easy it is to learn and use these good tax laws, so he quit the IRS and started the Tax Reduction Institute about 10 years ago. The Tax Reduction Institute has now taught over 50,000 small business owners all over the U.S. how to put good tax laws to work for them and how to "audit proof" themselves.
