Rick had four distinct careers before retiring. He first served as a U.S. Army officer, completing a tour in Vietnam. He then spent more than 20 years with Frito-Lay, Inc. and Polaroid Corporation in both domestic and international sales and marketing roles. In the last phase of his career, he worked as an executive recruiter, during which he successfully sourced three senior executives for Wellspring.
