Meet Team Rilla

Rich

Rich was born in Oakland, CA. and was raised primarily by his mom.  He went to a private Catholic School in East Oakland and in high school got the nickname "Rich" because all of his friends were cheapskates, and for his generosity at lunch time!  After high school, he went to Morehouse College, where he majored in Business. He stayed busy in college and got a role on a NBC movie of the week. Later on, he landed a guest starring role on Sister, Sister playing the boyfriend of Tia Mowry. Later, he pinned a script that was a John Templeton Kairos Prize Semi-Finalist.

He went on to create the Our Stories Films Site for industry friends Tracey Edmonds and Bob Johnson under a prior company that was created to give young people a "say" in movies/entertainment which placed 2nd in an international Mashable contest, and topped off with a rank of 23,856 in the world in over 175 countries.

Rich is the creative visionary behind RILLA. Social media for the NOW generation. His focus is bringing compelling products and services for the MTV-generation to enjoy. Rich is an avid New York Yankees fan and enjoys running on the beach at the crack of dawn!
