"Rick is a superb strategist, a world-class computer geek, and a delightful colleague.

In doing so, he understands that the technology must serve the function, not the other way around."

"Why would one utilize Rick's services?..... usually to help understand a strategy, technology, or an entire business. He is one of a few individuals that have the technical background, the hands-on experience and the smarts to do an evaluation and put forth a clear, easy to understand analysis. This analysis allows any non-technical person to clearly see all aspects of an issue and therefore quickly make an intelligent decision. He takes what is complex and crystallizes it down to succinct points."
