Your journey starts with a simple plan.
Pain can feel like a storm of thoughts, emotions, and endless struggle.
I understand—seven knee surgeries and decades of hard lessons.
And I’ve learned this: the level of pain must be matched by the level of intentionality.
That’s why I created PLAN TO BE YOUR BEST—as your Resilience Coach and Trained Caregiver, I’ll help you steady your sails and move forward with confidence.

50 Years of Choosing Resilience
Thank you for being a part of this celebration of resilience: yours and mine. Refill your sails on the highlights to come.
Rick was live twice on this 8th of November, 2025, the 50th anniversary of the knee injury.
“It changed my life. It was a single moment on the football field. But it also became the beginning of something more: 50 years of choosing resilience.“
“Pain may change your life — but resilience defines it.”
