Rick must have nine lives. He has lived more than two lives already and after a heart attack and a stroke just a few years ago, his wake-up call came with him weighing over 400 pounds, unable to speak and with three kids and a wife wondering if this was rock bottom.

Rick was already a motivational speaker for over 25 years when his biggest challenges put him to the ultimate test.

After months of rehab he has found his voice again, regained movement, lost over 150 pounds and is even more of a walking example of overcoming life’s challenges then he was before.

Still motivating, still speaking and still committed to making a difference for as many people as he can. Stories of growing up as one of 11 children without a father and without a clear path to overcoming his circumstances, Rick will inspire you to start making changes today.

Youth leadership and sports helped him find his calling and pointed him in a direction that has impacted generations of students and adults. You’re next.
