Rick can often be found laughing with his coworkers. Balancing precocious wit and the ability to ascertain complex initiatives is a regular part of Rick’s day.

Along with wit, Rick brings a broad range of knowledge and experience to the firm.

Guided by this practice, Rick’s work has received both local and national recognition.
