Prior to becoming a CCIE, Rick graduated from the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis with a degree in computer science. During his 5 years in the Navy as a Lieutenant, he was a Division Officer who led 110 engineers in charge of the propulsion system onboard the aircraft carrier - USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63). Years later the Kitty Hawk was slated to be decommissioned before her sister ship, the USS Constellation (CV-64). But, due to the excellent material condition of the ships engineering plant and overall material condition, the Constellation was decomissioned first and the Kitty Hawk was sent into forward deployment, stationed in Yokosuka, Japan.

He is currently in progress on a frame up rebuild of a heavily modified 1967 Camaro drag car with 800 horsepower and 665 Ft-lbs of torque that is slated to hit the track this summer.
