Delivering Tangible Results
Rick has worked with small businesses to Fortune 500 companies, elementary schools through higher education, local churches to international ministries, and individuals to entire companies. His focus is primarily with soft skills such as nonverbal communication, memory, creative problem solving, interacting with varying personalities, life balance, time management, etiquette, and presentation coaching. His knowledge and usage of the art and science of communication are what earn him requests for frequent return visits and consistently high evaluations. In addition to being a professional presenter he is also a presentation coach and writer. He is the author of two inspirational/motivational books and is currently working on his third book, “It’s Not About the Rules” which puts a practical spin on the topic of etiquette.
Rick also has a passion for missions. Last summer he donated nearly five weeks to serve in Romania, Bulgaria, and Slovakia in central Europe as well as in Bolivia, South America.

He also assisted in distributions of solar powered radios and provided consulting services.
