• Has been awarded the highest honors by the world’s largest International Weight Loss company for keeping its customers engaged in their service
• Somehow managed to get people to put the words “accounting” and “fun” in the same sentence on course evaluations of a CPA review course. Of course this was done by breaking a few rules (i.e. listening to what the customer wanted and not what the company thought was right) in order to engage the student.
• Focuses on employee morale; engagement; and productivity via a relationship model

• Helps you set action plans that can motivate even the deadest of teams
• Is the Nasal Decongestant that needs to be added to your stuffy sales or strategy meeting

A man of many hats; the beanie is his favorite; you’ll have to invite him to come play with your group to find out why. As a speaker, teacher, entrepreneur, leader and accountant….. Rich takes his diverse background to guide you to become a more powerful, energetic, profitable individual, team, association or business. My past experience includes time with a Big 8 Accounting firm (are you old enough to remember when there were 8?), as an assistant controller of a start-up division of one of the largest privately held corporations in the world, and years with small businesses. So if you’re wondering if I have a clue………… I just want you to know you’re hiring someone who has lived the “cubicle” life; who understands business operations. You may have updated and changed the words (staff, employee, personnel, talent); but the problems/issues have not changed. Most people are looking for a few things; keep employees happy; keep people engaged; keep businesses in business.After putting down the accounting pencil he taught a CPA review course and was a finance and information systems recruiter. The regional management for the CPA review course will forever remain puzzled as to how the words accounting and fun could end up in the same sentence on student evaluations.Rich is the idea behind and Chief Cook of One Less Meal, Inc.; a nonprofit organization dedicated to help feed the hungry. His fun and innovative approach to putting the FUN in FUNdraising has drawn media attention.Oh and about that large Privately Held Company not being so large any longer….that was well after I left.

Rich and Rover Her spirit will always live on! Actually it did; with these two!
