Richard is a former business partner and a good friend. He is also one of the smartest people I have ever met and frankly just a blast to sit and talk to. We can talk about the environment, politics, history, philosophy, computing, engineering, vehicle design and frankly we just never run out of subjects and we both stay engaged. 

His famous fun points is he is an expert at the Karmann Ghia and has the land speed record at the Utah Salt flats in his car. He rebuilds Porsches and Karmann Ghias as one of his side businesss. His home is literally his shop. 

RIchard also writes some amazing poetry. I may try to lure him here. 

 

Life is an adventure are you ready to drive? To launch as an entrepreneur We take on our passions and work our bucket list in life And laugh at the danger and wade through the strife Architect a world full of mystery and intrigue Work our way through this very limited time here 10 lifetimes would maybe be enough to see our life's work done indeed So smile and whistle in your day and apply yourself all in good time And bring your passion and zeal to obstacles so its not wear in the daily grind There is a world to be conquered with science, art and time And just the activity can make life sublime - the essence of a passionate life  For Richard Troy, Chief Scientist, Science Tools, Karmann Ghia God, Da Vinci to my Michaelangelo (C) May 23rd, 2011  Artimus Aka Susan Manley
