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.  

MS.Ed. Kent State Univ., secondary teacher 30 years, Science, Robotics, Technology, CAD, Computer Applications, Tech Prep Engineering, Industrial Arts, and Sociology. Coached engineering design and robotic teams to regional and state championships Writer’s workshops, magazine articles, and letters on education policy, and two complete book drafts and two in progress.

My favorite genres are: techno-mysteries, sociology, science, and political. Learning while reading stimulates me, the subject and plot should be exciting yet very believable. I attempt to do the same as I write.
