Rich Gombar is an artist with a BFA from Pratt institute. Rich ran the Professional services crew at the Guggenheim in the 90s and 2000s. I was fortunate to not only have worked with Joe and the art handlers, but also work with the builders and the painters under Rich. These were high stress, labor intensive gigs, but most of the time they were fun. All my coworkers were artist or creatives of some kind. I use to call him Coach, because I am a smart ass, but only after this talk did I learn he played football in high school and might have continued if not for a life changing event. Checking in with Rich after all these years was awesome.
