Background

Rick is a Christian married father of three, Viet Nam vet, urban public school teacher, carpenter, and more. "I'm very hopeful about the future, as I seek and receive inspiration, discover, learn, and share."
The author uses graphic technical and structural details blended with a potpourri of social and environmental issues. Adventure scenes typically involve high-techology, world-wide internet blogging, dolphin communication research, endangered ocean species, biospheres, ultraviolet radiation domes, hydro-geothermal energy alternatives, and more. Life Line 2050 is a sci-fi/utopian read, and very believable.
