Here's a little more about the other one... For the 35 years that Rick has spent in Silicon Valley Marketing Communications management, the first ten included stints at Fairchild Camera & Instrument, National Semiconductor and Memorex. Twenty-five years ago he switched over to the agency side as a partner at Lutat & Battey Advertising. Five years ago he founded his own ad agency, RLK.COM. Accounts have included divisions of Apple Computer, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Lockheed, and disc drive leaders Seagate Technology and Conner Peripherals, as well as many hardware and software startups. Rick also had a parallel PR career in the Navy Reserve as an enlisted Photojournalist (including an assignment to SeaLab III), followed by a direct commission as a Public Affairs Officer, retiring at the rank of Commander. Passions include world exploration, where the hobbies of photojournalism and world motorcle touring are useful.
