Welcome to RickPfahl.com!


Hello, my name is Rick Pfahl. Presumably you know me and that's what has landed you here.

You might be looking for my contact information:

rather than just pasting it on the web for everyone and all the spambots to see. I ask that you send an email to [email protected] with your name and preferred method of contact, I'll contact you directly with my phone numbers and email address.

I prefer to communicate using Signal an app that uses and makes an encrypted messaging protocol accessible to non-technical users.
, but I also monitor my cellphone and my primary email account.

In other words, here is the list of contact methods I check regularly in order of how closely I monitor them:
  1. Signal Messages (I have accounts associated with both cell numbers)
  2. Calls/SMS to my primary cell number (+1***-667-****).
  3. e-mail to my personal email address. (p*****@*********).
  4. Calls/SMS to my secondary number. (+1***-525-****).
I recently lost access to my original Facebook account, and it pains me that I should even need to mention this, but I know there are people who only know how to contact me through facebook. Now it should also be possible to google my name to find this page and point of contact. BTW. PLEASE STOP USING FACEBOOK THAT WAY, YOU'RE FORCING PEOPLE TO USE A SERVICE THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE OTHERWISE CHOSEN NOT TO DUE TO A MULTITUDE OF ETHICAL CONCERNS AND THIS IS PRECISELY WHY THEY ARE ABLE TO CONTINUE OPERATING IN THIS MANNER WITHOUT CONSEQUENCE

I've made it a point to maintain access to the same cellphone number since 2006, so if you have that number... you can still contact me that way. I also use some other communication technology such as xmpp and matrix, but I'm not presently using those enough to tell you that I can reliably be contacted through them. I'll get your message eventually, but it could be weeks or months, so until that changes I refer everyone to the above.
