About Rich

It’s never too late to start again.

40 years after earning my degree in Speech and Theater, I’m back to a career in the field! Of course, I’ve done a lot in the interim that has added character to my voice and to… well… my character. For now let’s just say I’ve retired my previous iterations and am eager to put the newest me to work on your project. And this is what it means for you…

I know how to take direction and I pride myself on delivering products on schedule.

Delivering critical IT and education products is great practice for delivering your project on schedule. I’ve worked for the past 10 years as a project manager, and am most recently retired from the Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center. Prior to that I spent 25 years in the IT sector holding positions in sales, marketing, technical services, and executive management as a division vice-president at one of the nation’s top three largest government IT contractors.

The range of my experience has brought me in contact with a huge variety of characters and personalities I draw on to bring life to your writing.

I’ve worked with CEOs and janitors, mutant geniuses and the developmentally disadvantaged, toddlers and… those of a certain age. And I’ve seen them in the best of times and the worst of situations. No matter what the rodeo, it won’t be my first.

I’ve returned to my professional roots. And this iteration of me is the best one yet.*

I’ve been public speaking and presenting since I won my first speech contest as an eighth grader — right after print was invented. Since then I’ve won statewide speaking and oral interpretation awards, performed off-off Broadway, done motivational speaking, served as company representative in Merger & Acquisition talks, and taught audiences of two to a thousand. And I’ve worked hard so that all my past experience will have the strongest impact on your project. Let’s work together; I know the result will be great.

*If I do say so myself.
