Rich brings passion, dedication and a sense of ensemble to every project that comes his way.
 

Outside of acting; Rich is forever curious about the world around him. He loves backpacking the globe, film, photography, sports, martial arts, science, nature, philosophy, good food, great friends and a cold beer. He's also a trained massage therapist and Rolfer. He believes in living life to the fullest and hopes to help leave the earth a better place than when he arrived.
