Rik Ravado on HubPages

Rik Ravardo is an international phenomenon. His new avatar shows him by the pool of a Spanish villa. A writer, raconteur and one of the world's best chefs he is also immeasurably cool. From Jazz to drama, Rik is the king.

Visual arts are his bag. Literary prizes his oyster. He's travelled the world (including Second Life) almost as many times as he has dated the world's loveliest women. Yes, beautiful women adore him but then so to do men, small puppies and mature squirrels (as long as nuts are on offer).

What about the real guy behind the myth? Originally trained as a physicist, I spent much of my life working in electronics, computer based systems and product marketing.

More recently I've moved into education and training. I'm a qualified science teacher (with a fear of children) and work for a large corporation as a training analyst and consultant. I'm too creative and in touch with my feminine side to be a true geek, but I am fascinated by the Internet and Virtual World technology.

Why not check out my blog RETROTECH? There you'll find weird, vintage technology and a generous dash of glamour. RETROTECH is where old fashioned girls, planes, trains, phones and computers merge. Where everything (including the girls) are bigger and better. There is also a Hub dedicated to me.
