One thing that Rip hates: writers who get off on how smart they are. One thing that Rip loves: entertaining writing that cuts to the chase. Rip is a storyteller with a knack for weaving humor and truth. His writing has spawned predominantly from his appetite for adventure. Immediately after high school, Rip embarked on an 3 year odyssey across the United States and eventually his travels took him on a motorcycle ride throughout Central America. These experiences deeply influenced his writing style, characterized by a blend of comedy and genuine, unpretentious, top shelf wisdom.
