He was a Professional Engineer and Inspector at Connecticut Natural Gas for almost 30 years after owning his own businesses; Road Track n Trail motorcycle shop and his own Nationwide Insurance agency.

Rick loved being outdoors. He enjoyed skiing, spent many days on the water boating throughout his life, and endless walks on the beach.
