Let Rich inspire your next conference, sales meeting or event as he draws from the experiences, stories, successes and failures of the "unexpected" company he founded. The splintered layers and distressed graphics of a once ridden skateboard find parallels to daily life, business and even mental health. Finding beauty in the broken, creating process from chaos, strategizing brand growth with unlikely collaborators in the field of interior design. The first and only wall tile born from broken skateboards, Rich accompanied this effort with a full scale recycling program, retrieving the unwanted material from over 300 skate shops nationwide. With high profile projects across the globe, he can reference names like Google, Monster Energy, CA Pizza Kitchen, Macy's and others.
With a journey starting in his basement, he will walk through the highs, lows and laughs in between but definitely leave you with a message of can do, will power and punching through rejection.
