With decades of extensive experience in the Association Management industry, Rick is a long-time Floridian who is dedicated to providing outstanding professional service to his clients.
Rick grew up near Chicago and graduated from Northern Illinois University before marrying his beautiful wife Katy and moving to the Tampa area in 1986. After working in the insurance industry for Allstate and USAA for twelve years while he and Katy raised their three daughters, Rick began his service as President of the Bloomingdale Special District, which continued for five years. His involvement there sparked a deep interest in community associations, and in 1998 Rick started his very first management company.
Rick believes strongly in professional growth and continuing education, which is evidenced in part by the following management and insurance designations he carries: Legal Principles Claims Specialist (LPCS), Casualty Claims Law Associate (CCLA), Certified Manager of Community Associations (CMCA), and Association Management Specialist (AMS). In addition, Rick was one of the very first Floridians to be certified in Green Industries Best Management Practices for Protection of Water Resources (GI-BMP).
