- About Rich

Rich is a musician / computer guy / videographer / blogger / photographer. He originally hails from Northeastern Connecticut and moved to Tampa Florida in 2006. He was born in 1975 and likes more or less all things 80s. In addition he is very Aries. Rich works from his home in Florida, and no he will not tell you how much he makes (why people always ask that extremely rude question I’ll never know.)

Professional stuff about Rich:

  • Rich holds a college degree in Video & Radio Communications.
  • Rich has 10+ years of enterprise I.T. experience.
  • Rich’s music has appeared in 4 video games (from a smaller company you’ve never heard of - but it did happen.)
  • Rich’s company, Frosted Side Productions, did at one time produce full broadcast quality television commercials and also bought and sold television advertising time. The re-opening of the site (for DVD production and television advertising time sales) will commence in June 2008.

- Garmin GPS stuff

Rich is admittedly a complete GPS fanboy. He has been using Garmin automotive GPS products since 2005.

If you were looking for something specific that Rich wrote about Garmin GPS, these articles can be seen here. Be sure to scroll to the bottom if you click that link because the articles are separated into pages.

- Free Spirit Buick stuff

In 2007 Rich ended his 17-year-long search for a very particular Buick, the “Free Spirit” Century Custom Series Indianapolis pace car. Shortly afterwards he opened up www.BuickFreeSpirit.com, a simple web site dedicated to that particular set of wheels. Rich is probably the guy that knows every single thing you could possibly ever want to know about this car. Since opening the web site, Rich has received lots of e-mails from fans and other Free Spirit owners. He’s currently working on restoring the car to original showroom condition.
