Rich Trzupek is one of the nation's leading air-quality experts, currently serving as a highly regarded consultant to industry and providing expert testimony to the US House Committee on Energy and the Environment. Based on his 25+-years in the field, he has authored two books: The Air Quality Permitting and Compliance Handbook, and Regulators Gone Wild: How the EPA is Ruining American Industry. As a prolific writer, Rich has spent his life delving into topics that interest him far afield from his career expertise. His multi-faceted commentaries have appeared in national publications and websites, such as Reuters, Breitbart, and Townhall. His weekly column in Examiner Publications, A View from the Cheap Seats, has been a favorite for readers in the western Chicago suburbs for over fifteen years. America's Journey: Underdog to Overlord, Regrets to Rebirth, Rich's most recent book, is the culmination of his lifetime dream: a narrative presentation of American history and politics. In it, he explores the broad themes that brought us to the present day, with illustrative vignettes tossed in to add a bit of spice to the stew, with the goal of starting productive dialogs rather than emotional rants. A native Chicagoan whose father supported his large family working in the nearby steel mills, Rich is the proud grandson of Polish immigrants, earning his Bachelor's Degree in Chemistry from Loyola University of Chicago.
