He worked union jobs in Millwright. He moved to various places doing this work including Texas and Arizona and various places in Nevada.

Rick loved riding his motorcycle. He was a member of the Banditos MC and Sergeant at Arms. He enjoyed working on cars and anything music – he was a Rockstar – especially the air drums and air guitar!
He was a Green Bay Packers fan. Rick loved his kids and watching them in their sports.
He was known as “Karate Rick” to some, Hardcore to others and he even started introducing himself as “Rick but the P is Silent”.
