Erika L. Rich’s Summary

I was "online" in virtual communities in 1985 and loved how you could communicate with people from all walks of life and areas of the world. The Quick Story: After a 3 year stint in BIG corporate America, I took a break from flickering screens and started working with racehorses in 1989, doing without computers for almost a decade. Having to make a career change, I left long hours and the love of four footed friends behind, and went on to conquer the world of Digital Design. I quickly hit the ceiling in desktop graphic design, and did not want to commute to New York City so I decided to try a career in the Internet. A move I thought would offer more opportunities and I was right.

Finding the new, current Internet world to be a rewarding and challenging place, much different from the internet of 1987-9, I jumped in feet first with a fellow consulting friend, Richard Hayward, and started RUWebby, LLC in 1999. RUWebby provides customers with Project Management, Website Design and Development, Content Management, Software Training and Search Engine Marketing expertise. Richard stepped down in December of 2002 to pursue other interests, leaving me as sole owner of RUWebby.

This year, RUWebby celebrates 10 years!
