Fun Facts

  • 🤟🏽 I studied American Sign Language in college to support the wildly underserved Deaf Community and learn about their history and culture.
  • 📷 My creative outlet is photography and videography having done everything from graduation pictures to baby bump photoshoots, all the way to wedding highlights, and gym videos.
  • 🎸My favorite thing to do is to visit a new city with my partner to attend a live concert, and explore the culture and food while I'm there.


Reviews

I had an injury 1 month before a walking vacation in another country. The Orthopedist didn't think I'd be able to get in with a physical therapist in time to help me. Rich to the rescue! He came to my office within days and worked with me (and my anxiety!). I was scared that the exercises, and his manipulations, would cause more injury. They did not. He was knowledgeable, patient and persistent and always on time, and communication was great. And I walked 6, 9 and 11 miles over varied terrain most days of my 2-week trip.
