Hi, my name is Rick. I was born and raised in central Pennsylvania and graduated from Penn State. After grad school at UMass Amherst, I moved to Nahant, Massachusetts (smallest town in the state). I worked as a Systems Analyst and Project Manager for the Division of Fisheries & Wildlife.

The fishbones avatar is also my boat logo, and "WI-FI" is short for "Wicked Fishah!" - my boat name. I'm thinking about getting a Captain's license someday and possibly running small fishing charters.
