Rich is an Aviation Policy Planner for the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities in Anchorage where he works with rural airports to ensure that they are “coloring within the lines” when it comes to regulations, statutes and federal law.

Rich has always felt a duty to give back to the community which includes many years of service on the ASEA Local 52 Board of Directors. He gained exposure to healthcare while serving on the board of directors for the Alaska Health Project, a non-profit organization focused on occupational and safety issues.

A native of Michigan, Rich moved to Alaska in 1981 to work as the Municipal Economist for the Municipality of Anchorage. He has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics from Kalamazoo College in Michigan and earned an MBA from the University of Anchorage.
