As a veteran member of ActiveRain, I have a great appreciation and devotion to this community, and a strong commitment to the amazing membership it serves. I enjoy the benefits and perspectives of being a licensed real estate professional, as well as an employee of the Network. I've been on the outside looking in, and now, the inside looking out. My goals are to further the successes we've already enjoyed, and work together at helping our Network achieve the fullest extent possible. Our community has so much potential to affect positive change in our industy. Are ya with me?

Kind Thoughts from Our Members:

"Rich has been instrumental in the growth explosion at the online Real Estate Professional network Active Rain. Rich works hard to insure that members see the value proposition and get the "pay-back" by using the network to it's fullest potential. It's the satisfaction and success of the current individual users that drives growth through recommendations to other professionals."   Vickie Nagy, Empire Realty Associates

I've been married for nearly 25 years to my wife, Janice, the most amazing woman on the planet! She's a  gifted elementary school teacher and devoted Mother.

Together, we've been blessed with four totally awesome kids - Emily (21); Ben (19); Elliot (17); and Luke (14).
 

Most of the time, you'll find me here at my computer, discovering yet another social network to join, or crafting my next literary blog gem (yeah, right!).

Of all the places I've ever visited, nothing compares to the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

Here on the Kitsap Peninsula, we're surrounded by the clear deep waters of the Puget Sound. To the west is the Olympic Mountains, rising up dramatically from the shores of Hood Canal.

To our east, eclectic & hip Seattle, and the towering summit of Mt. Rainier. There is no better place on the planet to call home!

During the summer months, you'll find me in my boat out on Hood Canal, pulling up my crab pots, and soaking up the rays!
