About Rich Polt FOLLOW

Helping people share their stories is Rich's passion and life’s work. Before launching Acknowledge Media, Rich built two P.R. (public recognition) agencies, Louder Than Words and Communicate GOOD. Both agencies worked with nonprofits, private foundations, and social enterprises to help them tell their stories and gain visibility.

In 2012, Rich launched a nationwide philanthropic effort called Talking GOOD, which recognized inspiring people "making a difference." Over the life of this initiative, the Talking GOOD team interviewed more than 100 people and created a repository of stories that can still be viewed at: http://www.talkinggood.com/.

Outside of the "office," Rich is a passionate cyclist and yogi. He also enjoys skiing, camping, crossword puzzles and spending time with his family (though not necessarily in that order). Rich lives in Baltimore County with his wife Jennifer and two sons, Samuel and Ethan.
