“When I retained Engineers Without Borders USA to assist me with designing a house for the remote high elevation regions in Nepal, I expected an engineer. I got Rick instead. In 20 years designing/building all around the world, I’ve never met an engineer like him. His technical knowledge is vast, but what blew me away was his flexible thinking, his understanding of rural Nepali culture, his willingness to take dangerous helicopter trips to spend days in a frigid shantytown, and above all, his warmth and compassion. I gave Rick a virtually impossible task— to design a 2.5 story building using rocks, galvanized wire, and minimal timber as the main structural elements. Finally, the building had to be as strong as reinforced concrete. Not only did he meet this goal, but his design came in at 40% the cost of any competing design, and we are currently on a path to have our design endorsed by the UN, and receive national approval. Like everyone else doing reconstruction in Nepal, we are against immense challenges, from logistics on up to politics. With Rick’s guidance, from engineering to navigating the political situation, we have succeeded at every turn, and are positioned to have tens of thousands of our houses built.”
