I've always written. My published writing career began with journalism in college. I went on to edit my college newspaper. After a short time as a freelance writer and employee of a mid-sized weekly newspaper, I went on to apply my writing skills in business through employment as a marketing and sales manager for a Fortune 100 corporation.
Today I'm a marketing and sales director for an established technology company and also maintain Riehlworldview.
Along with writing on politics and topical news, I follow and report on significant crime stories with the assistance of a growing community of readers and posters who read and post regularly on my weblog.
For activities I enjoy Golf and sport fishing. Other interests include History, politics, and good movies. Favorite book is "One Hundred Years of Solitude" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, movie - "There's Something About Mary" by the Farrelly Bros. In music I like variety from old top forty to Tom Waits, the Allman Bros. Band right through to Sinatra. My favorite quote is from Whitman, "Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large, I contain multitudes." I believe that's true of all of us.
