Rick is the best impersonator of a bald man in the entire RHB organization. But that's not the reason he wears so many hats in the Agency: His abundant talents simply exceed one single role. Rick brings nearly 30 years of experience in not-for-profit marketing to the firm, including work in fundraising, public relations, college admissions and marketing communications. He began his career at his alma mater, Spring Arbor University, a church-related liberal arts college, where he managed church and college relations, development and admissions programs. Rick also completed graduate courses in higher-education administration at Michigan State University.

Before launching his own firm in 1991, Rick served on the staff of Imprint, Inc. for eight years. He is a frequent conference speaker at regional and national meetings of educational organizations, an adjunct professor of marketing at the University of Notre Dame Mendoza College of Business and a former president of The Fischoff National Chamber Music Association board of directors.

Rick's creative faculties extend far beyond viewbooks and Web sites. He's a painter (some of his works grace the walls of our offices), a master griller (ask him for his mango fish recipe) and a once-professional musician. (If you do a little legwork, you can track down an album cover featuring Rick in the days when he had really long hair.) He steers the RHB ship with warmth and wit, and serves our clients with deep conviction and commitment.
