Rich worked hard as a kid, Received a huge scholarship to a prestigious Connecticut high school, and then went on to another huge scholarship to a prestigious New York university. ​But it just felt wrong. He was doing everything right, it seemed. But who was it right for? One day in his senior year of college, he dropped out to accept an opportunity to travel abroad to pursue his first recording contract. After his music opportunities didn't line up as planned, Rich became a stock trader in NYC. Naturally, that didn’t pan out either and was laid off not long after 9-11 and eventually landed a great job at the Department of Defense, pursued music in the evenings and weekends but still felt empty inside. So in 2012 after another long morning commute on the Parkway, he gave his 2 week notice and has never looked back. Today he is a full-time musician making a full-time living doing NOTHING but performing, and creating art.
