Rich is a teacher and a soldier with opinions to spare.
He currently teaches at the university level in Utah, but cut his teeth in high schools and colleges of the San Francisco Bay Area, where he taught math at various charter schools and teacher education at the University of San Francisco. In his rabble-rousing college days at California State University, East Bay, he helped to found the Campus Conservatives of Hayward and started the first student-published newspaper in the entire 23-campus CSU.
After several years teaching, Rich joined the California National Guard. Three years ago his unit, the 69th Public Affairs Detachment, deployed in support of KFOR. In Kosovo, he served as a public affairs specialist and Video Section Chief for Multi-National Task Force, East. While there he wrote for the task force magazine, Guardian East, and interviewed Vice President Biden and Governor Palin. He also finished his first book, Nine Weeks, about his unique experience at Army basic training, and joined the ranks of military bloggers with “My Public Affairs.”
