In Other Words…Richie_F

Richie Frieman has been called a modern Renaissance man. This could be because he has been a professional sculptor, author, illustrator, inventor, and wrestler. Yes, you read that right. He's also the youngest recipient of the Honors Program Laureate – formerly theSmithsonian – award for music.  He's also made just about every 35/40 Under 35/40 list in the area.
 
Currently, he is best known as the Modern Manners Guy. The specifics might change, Emily Post's dos and don't may no longer apply, but manners and etiquette never go out of style.  And they're easy to digest with Richie's humor and light touch.  Check out his Quick and Dirty Tips blog for some, well, quick and dirty tips.  

His most recent book is in that arena: REPLY ALL...And Other Ways to Tank Your Career.  It is a great resource for workplace etiquette, from interview tips to handling difficult co-workers – you are going to run into them – to how to handle people trying to get you to buy something for their kid's soccer uniforms.  The book is an Amazon best seller in three categories and one of the youngest on their Best Sellers list. 

He's also written award-winning children's books starring Terple the turtle, and started a kid's clothing line called Charm City Babies.  Richie has a wife and two – very polite – kids.
