Here’s the Full Bio:
Rich started his career with the Big 8 accounting firm Price Waterhouse. Are you old enough to remember when there were eight? When they were called Price Waterhouse? He was an assistant controller of a start-up division of the (then) fourth largest privately held corporation in the United States. Still thinking he wanted to account and finance things, he spent some time with Avon Products and Carlson Companies. After running out of lead in his pencil and spreading one too many sheets, he taught a CPA review course and was a finance and information systems recruiter for Robert Half International. 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. He thinks you’ll understand why after spending some time with him.

Celebrated the third Thursday every June is Recess At Work Day; a fun opportunity to improve employee wellness, morale, and engagement. Rich is the founder/creator of this movement. Recess at Work Day has received attention international media coverage and companies such as Keen have jumped on the bandwagon. Rich is also the Founder/Chief Board Cutter of the nonprofit organization One Less Meal, Inc.; operators of The World’s Only Virtual Diner Fighting Hunger.

Rich is a member of the National Speakers Association and is Past President of the New England Chapter where he used many of the ideas in his presentations to keep the board of directors and general membership engaged in the organization. He managed to do this in a time when association membership was waning in every industry.

Rich has authored articles, published three books, (his latest Diary of the Happiest Employee On Earth); and has appeared in the news – nationally and internationally; CBS Sunday Morning filmed one of his programs as part of a larger story on the importance of Play in people of all ages; and how it is used as a learning/engagement tool in the workplace. 

Rich speaks internationally. His programs are presented to Corporate and Government Audiences, as well as Professional and Trade Associations. He uses a highly interactive and engaging approach to working with audiences. His clients range from Fortune 10 to the smallest of nonprofits. Their comments include words and phrases like “innovative,” “creative approach”, “a fun way to learn a boring topic” and “delivered so much more than we expected.”  

 

Rich and Rover. Her spirit will always live on!

Actually it did; with these two!
