After graduating from Kean College with a Bachelors degree in Biology I attended New York Chiropractic College graduating with a Doctor of Chiropractic degree. I practiced Chiropractic for 15 years then transitioned into Pharmaceutical Research. I am presently a Director in Clinical Operations with Melinta Therapeutics, located in Morristown, NJ working in infectious disease. I travel extensively to hospitals around the world to qualify, train, and monitor clinical sites that are performing investigative new drug research trials on humans.

I still enjoy the beach at LBI and going to see the NY Giants play at the Meadowlands. My hobbies are weight training, home remodeling, and occasionally playing my guitar.

I am the proud father of a remarkable son, Joseph who resides in Brooklyn, NY with his wife Nicole Balsam. I am a grandfather to Isabella Marie Baez, my step-daughter, Christina Ulchinsky's first child. I have a step-son Joseph Ulchinsky who currently resides in Oregon.

I enjoy traveling internationally, cooking, vacations in the Caribbean and Key West, and socializing with friends.

Regards,

Rich
