Rich has been preparing for his roll at Intervention 911 his whole life. Born and raised in Long Island, New York, his drive for success has been evident throughout every endeavor he has undertaken, rising to the top of every chosen occupation in the last twenty years. This drive would be a gift and also a curse.

Suffering with addiction for many years and not understanding it led him to the ultimate challenge, “Fighting the Demon within...”

Getting into recovery, Rich learned that the drive which led him to much worldly success could now be used to help others understand their own addiction and reclaim their lives. An innate and sincere desire to help others allows Rich to touch the hearts of suffering addicts and their families and to help guide them through one of the most difficult decisions and journeys some people are ever called upon to make.

“It is my personal belief that most people stricken with addiction are the most sensitive, caring and misunderstood human beings on the earth and potentially the most important people we may ever come across.”
