Who I Am and What I Do

About Mr. Rick

“Facilitator Extraordinaire”

 I am not a holy man, a shaman, a guru, or some kind of new age channeler. I am Mr. Rick. I am the one who will listen without judgement and offer up the best of my knowledge, wisdom and understanding. I believe in your value and it is my greatest intention to help you find that value within yourself.

I am not the answer to all your problems. I am not the light you’re looking for and I can’t fill the void in your life.  I am Mr. Rick. I am the guy who will sit with you and listen to your story. I will listen to what you say and what you don’t say. I am the man who will tell you the truth as I understand it. I am the man who will call you on your stuff when I hear or see it. I am the man who will offer what you need most and expect you to do something with it. I can be your best friend or…not. You always have the choice.

I can give you the best advice you have ever heard but it will do no good if you don’t follow through with it. I am the man who will show you what it means to care by my example, not just by my words. I am the man you can ask for help and I will do my best to be there for you in any way I can. I am the man who will develop a lifelong relationship with you because that is how invested I will be in helping you find the best of you.

I have attended more conferences, training, workshops and online webinars than you can shake a stick at. I’m an information junkie and I spend most of my personal time reading, listening, and searching for the latest and newest techniques to help the people I serve. Yes, I said serve. My greatest sense of purpose is to serve, to help guide and empower people to be and do better in their lives.

I am the man who knows that service is not my job, it’s my mission, my life’s purpose. Are you ready to join me? If so, then hop in! We’re going to go for the ride of your life. I am Mr. Rick.


“I didn’t realize who I was until I helped someone. The more I help people, the more I know who I am.” — Mr. Rick
