IT Professional | Digital Creator | Niche Enthusiast
Based in Ancaster, Ontario, I am a retired IT professional who has traded the corporate server room for the creative freedom of the web. Today, my focus is on developing and managing a portfolio of specialized digital properties that reflect my interests in technology, history, and lifestyle.
This site serves as the central hub for my professional profile and the gateway to my current ventures.
Current Projects & Digital Portfolio
I am currently the architect and lead editor for a variety of niche websites. Whether it’s exploring the science of horology or celebrating the start of the weekend, these projects keep my technical skills sharp and my curiosity fueled.
Collectibles & Specialized Tech
- RadiumDial.com & UraniumWare.com: Deep dives into the history, science, and collecting of radioactive antiques and fluorescent glass.
- Solar-Watches.com & TritiumLume.com: Resources dedicated to specialized timepiece technology, from light-powered movements to self-luminous illumination.
- Radio-Hobbyist.com: A dedicated space for the radio enthusiast community.
Lifestyle & Community
- ItsFridaysoWine.com: Celebrating the ritual of the weekend with a focus on wine culture.
- SallySunshine.ca: I am proud to manage the digital presence for my sister’s fitness programs, specifically designed to empower and energize seniors. I am not involved with the business operation, but I manage the website for her.
About Rick
With a career rooted in the Canadian IT sector, I bring decades of technical problem-solving to every site I build. My approach combines a “retired” perspective with a modern “side-hustle” energy. When I’m not optimizing websites or researching niche history, you can find me engaging with the local Ancaster community or connecting with fellow hobbyists online.
