Rich get's it. I thought the transition from radio to digital would be tough for Rich to grasp - I was wrong. Rich is one of our strongest digital sellers and educators in all of our markets. He also provides fantastic client service and is always looking to take campaigns to the next level. Rich is a big asset for Lincoln Financial Media. If you have the opportunity, don’t miss out on working with this guy.
