Hello. I'm Rick, a uniquely experienced storyteller and creative content pro.
From Hollywood to the most remote rainforests, I strive to create nothing less than outside-the-box, branded, off-branded, re-branded, and audience-activating content that inspires and drives change.
What have I done? I've written feature film scripts, dangled from ice walls (and helicopters) to get the shot, attended ad school, collaborate(d) with impact-making nonprofits, and have worked on very, very big (and very, very low) budget projects around the globe.
Coming from a writing background first, my forte is understanding how to craft the most engaging, needle-moving project right from the napkin to the big (or handheld) screen.
