Richard D. Ekstrom

Richard Ekstrom is a business consultant specializing in creative problem solving. He has played Scrabble for as long as he can remember. The germination of the idea for this dictionary was initially formulated at his summer cottage. In those ancient times, before cable TV, there were few stations on broadcast TV and reception was so problematic that for many years the cottage did not even have a TV. Everybody played a lot of Scrabble, especially when it rained. It was a multigenerational pastime. Richard and his wife live in Pittsburgh and enjoy biking, tennis, cooking and reading.
