About the Author

Rich graduated from Minnesota State University, Mankato, with a Mass Communications major and Speech Communications minor in 1984 and joined the Jesuit Volunteer Corps, right out of college. He served as a teacher’s aide at an urban Milwaukee grade school, then at a private Milwaukee high school—in both encounters educating predominantly African American students. This immersion into the black culture has influenced most every area of his life ... from singing in gospel choirs to teaching religion to black children in his church, to serving the disadvantaged African American population in urban Milwaukee...Rich has found his place in serving—wherever it’s needed. And blessings have been abundant! Rich has never actually been employed in the field of writing, working rather in the fields of education, janitorial, construction, printing, health care and customer service. Yet he has been writing—poetry, journal entries, prose—for the past 28 years, and loving it!
