Rick and his wife, Shawna, are active in their community of Palisade. They treasure their two golden retrievers and extended family, most of whom live close by. Rick can be found at the Hamilton Recreation Center exercising over his lunch hour most days. He enjoys an active lifestyle that includes yoga, cross country skiing, cycling, and pinball. He also has a unique collection of antique padlocks and safes.
"I have hundreds of antique padlocks. It's an embarrassing amount. I have either way too many or maybe not enough."
