After his Air Force service, Rick quickly found himself working as the Manager/Head Professional/Director of Instruction at a semi-private golf facility in Central Florida, where he remained for over 20 years. During that time, he was instrumental in the formation of an annual Junior Golf Camp, he searved as Golf Coach for a local High School, founded a gold school and annually taught hundreds of lessons.
In 1994 Rick achieved membership in the PGA which expanded his educational and playing opportunities. As one of the top golfers in the North Florida Section, he has won numerous events and awards, including being named the 2009 NFPGA Senior Player of the Year.
