Rick spent a lot of years working as a framing and trim carpenter where his attention to detail and relentless pursuit of perfection shined through in his work. He spent time working at Rampmasters with his brother in law James Cooley and then soon after joined Jimmy again working in technology at Sprint.

Rick was an avid gardener who loved spending time outdoors with his good pal Charlie, his loyal and loving dog. His garden was meticulously kept and was his pride and joy. He spent many hours learning about gardening through internet videos and was very happy to share his harvest with his family. He had notebooks that contained every minute detail about his garden from illustrations on how to build it, to seed placement, to irrigation, and future plans for upcoming years, what tomatoes made the salsa and much more. No detail was ever missed. Rick recently cleaned out all of his sister Gina’s flower beds and built her a beautiful deck with perfect craftsmanship.
