In 1978, Rich launched his first periodical, "Flyrodder". Three years later he sold it. In 1979, he self-published "The Fox Caller's Guide", a 64-page, how-to-do book that made him a good profit and pushed him permanently into self-publishing.
Since this beginning during 1978-79, he has self-published over a dozen books and started three more magazines. His continuing credits include being a newspaper columnist, a field editor for a number of publications, and full-time editor of "The Trapper & Predator Caller" from 1985 to 1990.
In 1988, Rich and wife Kristen began Beaver Pond Publshing & Printing. This business is a two-fold combination of publishing house and commercial printing facility. Before beginning Beaver Pond, Rich learned to layout, shoot negatives, run press and finish jobs by renting a local facility after hours and by working for three different printers. This intense and varied experience was brought together in the forming of Beaver Pond. Here, Rich and Kris began to help others in their self-publishing projects. This has become their specialty.
Beaver Pond Publishing has assisted self-publishing authors from New Mexico to New Hampshire--and from every occupation from school teacher and student to oil field engineer and physical therapist. The topics are even more varied and include cookbooks, poetry, fishing, the Bushmen of the Africa, and fiction novels.
Rich has been an active member of the Pennsylvania Outdoor Writers Association since 1978 and is currently president elect. He was charter member of the Kentucky Outdoor Press Association and past member of the Outdoor Writers Association of America.
