Rick is originally from Lake Forest, IL and brings the hard-working, honest Midwest work ethic to a place that appreciates that, Colorado. While not a native, he has now fathered three natives (boy, girl, boy), so that counts for something!

Rick knows what it is like moving from the hot bungalow neighborhoods of the city, like Washington Park (where he runs an I Love Wash Park group on Facebook with over 1,000 members) to the burbs! He can help you make the transition from hot and trendy to minivan and kid-friendly with in-depth knowledge of both the city and the W, SW, S and SE burbs.

After completing his law degree and MBA from the University of Illinois, Rick moved to Denver to practice real estate and corporate law. Unable to deny a life-long interest in real estate, Rick dove head first into a new career. Now over 15 years later, Rick has helped countless home buyers and sellers, from first-timers to seasoned investors to luxury home owners. The majority of his work is from referrals from happy clients referring friends, colleagues and family to this seasoned professional who has an uncanny eye for seeing the potential in a home, as seen when he appeared on HGTV’s Professional Grade remodeling a Washington Park bungalow.

Rick does everything outdoors that Colorado has to offer, including skiing, telemarking, snowboarding, wake boarding, hiking, camping, volleyball and more. Rick’s extensive professional and social network will help you buy or sell faster than you can with other agents in town and protect the value of your investment. Rick is also involved with the Board of the Rocky Mountain Down Syndrome Association, a remarkable organization which he proudly joined shortly after his youngest son was diagnosed with D.S. Previous charity involvement centered around the Denver Active 20-30 Children’s Foundation helping at-risk youth in Colorado.

When not showering his wife, kids and dog with affection, Rick spends every spare minute researching the latest technology, trends and software that can advance the marketing of your home. (He’s secretly a tech geek.)
