Personal

‘Family’ is the heart of this business, and family is the passion of both Rick and his wife.  Having raised 2 sons, they’ve spent years coaching and watching their boys ‘play’. Now empty nesters, they spend their free time boating, fishing, and cooking.  They are newly active in the Jackson Lake community having relocated from west GA to central GA and are heavily involved in watersports.
