RIC D. HARRIS had a passion to harness his experiences so that others could learn from them. After relating his theory to friends and to young men in need of guidance, he finally wrote "The Fisherman and the Catch" to share the valuable insights with the rest of us.
Born in the Motor City (Detroit, Michigan), Ric always strived to accomplish what others stated he could not. Ric was raised by a strong single mother who taught him never to quit no matter what the cost; he was shown the streets by a hustler father to whom Ric attributes his own street smarts; and he learned to defend himself at an early age thanks to the care of an older brother. These three influences still impact him today. Add to that the catalyst of joining the United States Marines Corps right out of high school, and you have a recipe for Ric’s now successful life.
Ric is a loving husband, father, and Christian who often says, “I tithe, serve, and give back…God is still working on the rest.”

Book Excerpt
“This book is an entertaining, humorous, ‘outdoorsman’ approach to relationships. As I read it, I was reminded of when my grandmother used to take me fishing, and how impatient I was standing on the river banks waiting for my catch. As you read this book, I know you’ll laugh. You may even be reminded of some of your past or present relationship experiences and go hmm… but if you haven’t found your catch yet, read, enjoy, and let patience have its perfect work.”
— Dr. Bryan E. Crute, Senior Pastor,Chief Executive & Spiritual Officer, Destiny Metropolitan Worship Church
