I designed and published this site as an informational
source for new customers, prospective associates, clients and other loosely associated
entities who would like to know of any other avenues in which I can be of
assistance and/or work with them.
It is difficult to sum up in 20 words or less "what I do" nor the experience I have
accumulated in my years... I am certainly not into "Graduate Certificates",
'sheepskins' or the like... most of those folk who flash a wall full of
framed certificates that I have known have been about the most incompetent
people I have ever met... I guess they believe the sheepskins lend them
'credibility'...
My view is that the results you attain in Life and the effects you have
on your environment are your certificate.... the
fruit that the tree bears tells you the quality of the tree... not the name
tag placed on it!
I am frequently asked the question by folks who have just met me, and
even those who have known me for awhile... "Well Rick, what do you do?"...
That
is a difficult question to answer... I am not trying to be evasive, but if I
answer the question honestly, one may think I am joking or being elusive...
and I'm not!
Saying simply, 'An Entrepreneur' is not quite accurate and way too
limiting... that's all... much like a diamond, I have many facets... and
again like a diamond, when you look closely into a single facet, you can see
all of the other facets... hopefully, this web site can be a single facet
which reflects some of my other skills, qualities and character!
Read on!
I have built enough ships in bottles that with a few more medical courses
and I could have probably been a very good arthroscopic surgeon... I'm an
electronics engineer, a web developer, International Business, I taught Kung
Fu, plus about thirty other 'hats'... as I have worked for myself since age
nine...
Soooo, what do I do?
Basically, I HELP... and I am VERY EFFECTIVE at that. I get RESULTS... in
many areas.. in many ways.. I always have. I am predisposed to this
undertaking spiritually, intellectually, emotionally, ethically... and
genetically... I'm not sure whose bright idea it was to choose me.... but I
am stuck with the job... and frankly, I enjoy it.. every day is like
Christmas morning for me.
I am especially interested in projects that are constructive, aligned
with 'Better World Work', improving conditions wherever I can, and working
with genuinely good people motivated, like myself, by helping... not purely
'making a buck'... those types folks are about as trustworthy as far as you
can toss them!
Another thing, all that Taxgate smear campaign that you can research on Google is just that... a cheap and
obvious smear campaign... as it is VERY IMPORTANT for them to discredit the
organization of which I was the web master and publisher.
A group of highly skilled ethical researchers and I had the
courage to educate the public regarding law, Federal Regulations and IRS Code and
how to study them correctly.. laws and regulations MEAN what the words in
them say! But, we no doubt pissed off the Secretary of the
Treasury....
I didn't do anything wrong except say that "the king had no clothes"..
but the government has a bigger 'baseball bat' than I do... even with the
Internet as a tool....
I'll certainly get around to refuting all that nonsense that they went to
great effort to spread.
I will refute it IN DETAIL,
when I have a few minutes spare time to WASTE. If you have any questions
about it in the mean time... just call and talk with me... I'll fill you
in... I might transcribe it to make an interesting and informative article..
But if you buy any of that drivel on Google about my circle and I... then
you deserve the reaming you get by some of your less ethical elected
officials! Let me assure you of that. People who do NOTHING plus believe
everything they are told are called... "SHEEPLE" and occupy a fairytale
world called an "Ivory Tower"...
Glancing through this informational site should help a little... I like
helping others do good and better world work.. When business owners and I
get a little brainstorming session going, we generally figure out several
ways to 10X their exposure and productivity...
When prompted by some friends and other folks to get some PhD 'Degree' in
recognition of my experience and skills... I just have an aversion to
all of that...
Many times, I have reassured my friends and family that I appreciate
their care and concern... but my certificate and recognition is simply when
I look back in my life and recall those I have helped... those I am helping
NOW... and those I look forward to helping in the future...
I am simply.... "Rick"... that is good enough for me.
