In the summer of 1987, after an unsuccessful year in college, Rich knew the traditional path to a job wasn't for him. He headed to south Florida with the determination to find his way in the world. Like many young guys, Rich was charmed by exotic sports cars, and as a fisherman he was also fascinated with the yachts that graced the Atlantic Ocean. Florida was teaming with both. Although he couldn't afford either, he settled for the next best thing and within a year had saved enough money to start a company named Mobile Detailing, his first full-time business. "It was exciting to be around those cars and boats, even if I was just cleaning them up for the owners," he said. He remembers the day when one of his clients summed up the secret of success in just one word - timing. "He told me if I ever have the opportunity to position myself in front of growth, and become part of that growth, I could profit. The product, service, or industry wouldn't matter if the timing was right. At 18, I didn't know what that meant, but it all came together later,"

Since moving to Maryland in 1992, he has been fishing the Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean. However, residing in the Annapolis area has made the Chesapeake Bay regular fishing grounds.
