Richard Ries

Richard Ries began his free lance journalism career in June, 1985, calling on his experience as a service manager at a Honda motorcycle dealership to place his first article. When the motorcycle market collapsed in the late 1980s, he moved to the booming bicycle market. Finding that market lacked the professionalism he sought, he moved to construction in 1995 and has remained there ever since.

His countless clients have included entities in Australia, England, France, Germany and Scotland. He has written for trade and consumer periodicals, equipment and component manufacturers, government agencies and non-governmental organizations. Clients have also commissioned him for photography and videography work, either stand-alone or as part of package of text and images.
