Rich was born and raised in Belleville, PA. After graduating from college, he spent a year volunteering at Rosedale, assisting with various technology related projects. Following that year, he moved to eastern PA, where he earned his masters degree and began his career. Rich has always been involved with his church, serving in various youth ministry, leadership, and worship team roles. For many years, Rich would donate a week of his summer to RBC to assist with website and database projects. Rich moved to the Rosedale area in 2017 when he married his wife Bethany. They currently are active members of Shiloh Mennonite Church, where they both serve on the worship team, and co-lead a life group. In their spare time, Rich and Bethany enjoy spending time outdoors taking care of their property and hiking at various state parks. Rich looks forward to introducing students to a field of study they may have never considered pursuing in the past. He enjoys interacting with the students, and watching them grow throughout the semester. It is such a joy to watch when things start to "click" for students, and they are able to put all the pieces together to create something special.
