He valued every friendship he created. After college, Rick became a retail manager. He managed many retail stores in Florida, Georiga and Alabama. He was a manager with compassion. He would treat his employees like family. Every single employee knew they could depend on Rick to be fair. He was able to play many hats without compromising his position as a retail manager. After twenty-five plus years, Rick moved on from retail to become an insurance adjuster for Pilot Catastrophe. Rick was able to emphasize with his consumers on their needs and wants. He was able to be personable with his coworkers, consumers, and bosses. After many years with Pilot, he had created a family at Pilot.
