About Me

My name is Richard (Rick) Kratzke. I grew up on a small farm in central Minnesota. With that, I learned a great work ethic, a love for animals, and an appreciation for living life on my own terms. I also learned the advantage of having a community which helps you in life, your living, and your spirituality. 

I spent years trying to find a living either in art, or in ministry, all the while doing whatever job was necessary to pay my bills. I love music, although I haven’t performed publicly for about a year. I am currently in Fargo, North Dakota. I grew up in, and spent most of my life in Minnesota. I did do a couple of years in Florida, and still miss the weather. I have been to Mexico, Bolivia, Chile, and Canada.I love (and got my B.A. in) Theatre, have written many church dramas (available at spiritlakepublishing.com), and been involved in local theatre whatever community I have been in. I now am a successful internet marketer, and am still an Independent Painting Contractor.I have done most of the building trades in the past whether for pay or just on my own. I’ve been a mechanic’s helper, a turkey egg picker, a supper club dishwasher, a metal parts cutter, a published poet, farmer, shift manager at a florescent light manufacturing plant, licensed minister, singer/songwriter, outdoor furnace installer, welder, dock installer, and I’m sure a number of other things which I can’t (or don’t want to) remember….

I first got involved with internet marketing with a curiosity of what was possible with making money online. That was around October of 2017. I was looking at my bottom line and realizing that I was slowly going backwards in my finances. The only way I could make more $ with my business was to work more hours. That really was not an option if I wanted to keep my life and my relationships intact. That is why I found internet marketing to be so enticing. I could work in my off hours from home and make money!
