Rich is an internationally recognized speaker, having ministered in 16 countries and preached to crowds of up to 120,000 people. He has trained entrepreneurs, pastors, and leaders through conferences and personal mentoring. In the Philippines, he built a training network of more than 7,000 churches and launched annual conferences with more than 50,000 in attendance.

Rich and Annie have six children—Brooke, Bekah, Levi, Luke, Gabriel, and Gavin—and seven grandchildren: Abby, Layla, Mila, Joey, Sophia, Vincent, and Livia.

Annie has a blog that she writes bi-weekly, sharing some of the things that have made her life better. She has a real desire to say the things no one else wants to say, and everything she brings to the table is biblical. Her tagline is: “Tackling real issues and fulfilling our destinies TOGETHER!” Read her blog here.

Their interests include riding Harleys, shooting, scuba diving, golf, cigars, and watching MMA. Rich also enjoys avoiding being shot by a professional assassin in a third-world country—but that’s a story for another day.
