Career

Rich originally lived on the Jersey shore, before graduating from Virginia Tech. He served as a deck officer on board the USS Tortuga and qualified as a Surface Warfare Officer before becoming a game designer. Since joining TSR in 1991, Rich has worked on most of TSR's product lines at one point or another. In 1995 he won an Origins Award for Best New Role-Playing Supplement, for the Birthright campaign setting.

Rich lived in New Jersey, Virginia, Rhode Island, Virginia again, Louisiana, Virginia a third time, and Wisconsin, but now lives in Auburn, Washington, with his wife Kim, two daughters, and cats. He's a fan of Golden Age SF and the Philadelphia Phillies.
