I apply expertise in anthropology, ecology and multimedia production to develop customized informative media content for remarkable artists and organizations that serve humanity and the environment.
As a researcher and educational resource developer, I apply contemporary anthropological theory and methods to multidisciplinary investigations on the significance of storytelling and arts traditions in the transmission of traditional cultural knowledge. This work is characterized by ongoing compilation and cross-examination of multiple types of data, including literary, historic, ethnographic, paleontological, ecological, archaeological, and biological data, for developing educational research databases, and for addressing questions about culture, ecology, and behavioral evolution in the context of global powers.
He is unflinching when taking on new challenges, has the ability to undertake penetrating conceptual and strategic analyses, and has an unmistakable commitment to Indigenous Peoples.

Thank you Rick Rulf for your expertise and patience behind the engineering mastery and cultivation of the Life Drum Project. Professional state of the art equipment was only outweighed by your dedication and willingness to help me create something beautiful. I think that is a very important and powerful trait that every artist searches for. Thank you for believing in me.
