Frederick "Rick" Andrew currently lives in a 200 year old farmhouse in central Maine with his wife, Maureen and their 5 year old pitbull / akita mix, Duke.
He is a planner in a naval shipyard and a former naval officer who has had the great fortuneof living out a dream through his training as a Navy Diver. That said, his most challenging andfulfilling roles have been husband to the love of his life and best friend, and father to two greatkids who have managed to grow up into great adults.
Rick has always had a love of words and appreciated a well crafted sentence. With that inmind he set out about a year and a half ago to make writing a regular part of his day. Thisultimately led to some of the poetry communities of G+, most notably Words on Fire andPoets of G+ where he became a regular contributor.
He typically draws inspiration from his fellow poets and is known to respond poetically incomments to their posts. He also enjoys speculative fiction, fantasy, and science, and has anabiding fascination with chaos theory. These themes appear with alarming regularity in hiswork.
