Rick is a seasoned creative designer and frontend application engineer. He has been active in the web industry since 1992. As one of the original adopters of web technology, he founded AspenMedia in San Francisco and led a team of over 65 designers, programmers, engineers and project managers to develop website applications for 10 mainstream Bay Area radio stations, leading .com startups and major corporations. Rick has college degrees in mechanical engineering, business management and commercial art.
