This Guy Gets It

When you’re looking for someone who can relate to the gritty side of life — the trauma, the tragedies, and the crises, think of Rich. His career as a firefighter and paramedic, working alongside police officers and other first responders, gives him firsthand knowledge of the tribulations of life. He saw the pain, sorrow, and even the joy and resilience. Rich is trauma-responsive care certified and a Mental Health First Aid instructor. He understands how people’s experiences influence their behaviors and interactions with others.

For the softer side, Rich can pull from his years of training and teaching. From children to adults, Rich has helped people learn valuable topics. He inspired the students he instructed, sometimes using his skills as a musician, puppeteer, and even as a trained circus clown to help engage them.

Rich is a fan of all forms of storytelling. Even as a young boy, he read books both day and night. His mother would hide his flashlight so he couldn’t read after bedtime!

Rich has done many things that help him tell your stories. In his career, he served as a public information officer, agency spokesperson, Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, educator, curriculum developer, podcast host & producer, and mental health advocate. These experiences help him understand the needs of many types of projects.
