Hi, I’m Rich. I’ve spent the majority of my career in retail sales & marketing positions in the home theater industry. Whether it was helping a customer choose the latest smart TV or working with their builder and interior decorator on a full blown home theater system, I truly enjoyed helping people choose and use the technology that would enrich their lives on a daily basis. Along the way I taught myself the Adobe Creative Suite to produce print, direct mail and web marketing campaigns. Attending Tech Elevator, a full stack web developer bootcamp in Cleveland, Ohio was Captain Obvious' answer to "What's next?" in my professional growth. I’m looking to use those skills as a foundation for a junior developer role that allows me to collaborate with a team and continue to grow my coding skills.
