Some fun facts about Rich:
He is a professional Salsa dancer with a passion for sharing this dance with others by teaching all the locals of Manly Beach in Sydney.
He can speak Czech very badly because he used to live in the Czech Republic. He's politely asked us not to test him on this. After all, it was over 10 years ago when he lived there.
He loves to spend his free time sitting at the bottom of the ocean without any scuba gear. He can hold his breath for up to 4 minutes and dive down to 30 metres practising one of the things he loves most - free diving.
He loves to play chess, learning when he was 5 years old. Challenge him to a game if you dare.
He's also a real people person, always keen to meet new people and help others out. That's why he's got into recruitment!
