Hi Rich,
I have been searching the net for some time now trying to track you down. Your place is really taking shape,Congrat’s on your baby! Any chance I could come to visit you? Everything that I learned I learned from you!

Richie:
Nice location and PT studio. Hope you are well. I’m doing great. In Nor Cal Still. Married, 14 years, two kids, girls, 10 and 7 and loving life. Getting back in shape this year looking to compete maybe next year. Around 260 @ 9 % body fat and looking better than I did when I used to compete. Let me know what’s new with you and if I am in NY any time soon with work maybe I can stop by and get together. Talk to you soon.
