Before Wings of Rescue, Ric Browde already lived a multi-faceted life and accomplished a great deal. Here’s just a fraction. He graduated from Cornell University, then started a career in Rock N’ Roll. He has worked with artists like Ted Nugent, Joan Jett, Poison, and Faster Pussycat, among many others. He is the author of While I’m Dead...Feed the Dog, a very funny and mostly true novel of Ric growing up. The book was made into a movie, but Ric has not seen it and does not feel it is worth mentioning.
