AboutMe
As a veteran, registered nurse, writer and successful entrepreneur, Rick brings a wealth of experience – and tremendous passion – for impacting lives. Starting with his own, Rick is the type who settles for nothing less than outstanding and thinks everyone else should strive for the same. His story begins in the US Army, where Rick enlisted from 1988-1990. He later earned his BSN degree and became a registered nurse (RN). After several years in nursing, Rick’s entrepreneurial spirit kicked in and in 2001 he bootstrapped started his first business.
Rick is married to Lisa, his wife of over 16 years, and has three wonderful grown children and spends as much time as he can on Venice Beach living a "nomadic" lifestyle.
He is currently a partner at Citizen Ventures, LLC and is known as San Antonio's FIRST (and best looking::: heh-heh) Cannabis entrepreneur.
