Rick believes in building solid working relationships not only with those at Queen’s Park but also within his constituency. To say he is a real people person would be an "under statement"!
His private sector career included working for a major truck assembly plant, a major natural gas utility and in the training & professional development sector. Rick’s entrepreneurial spirit allowed him to work with some of Canada’s most renowned companies via the Nicholls Training Group. His work has taken him across Canada & the USA extensively – including an opportunity to twice address the Canadian Embassy to the United Nations.
At home, Rick is a proud husband, father, and grandfather, and has been an active member within the Chatham-Kent community. Rick has been involved with the Chatham-Kent Chamber of Commerce, an award winner at the international level with the Chatham-Kent Toastmasters, and president of Gideon’s International of Canada – Chatham, coaching little league baseball and sponsoring girl’s minor soccer. Rick’s community involvement has also included Softball Canada as an umpire, for which he was recognized by the organization for his knowledge of the game, professionalism, and the ability to “make the tough calls”.
He consistently demonstrated his passion for his work as a former Deputy Labour Critic and as the Critic for Sport, Recreation and Youth. After his successful re-election in 2014, he was appointed Deputy Speaker and Critic for Community Safety and Correctional Services. Rick is not shy when it comes to addressing the tougher issues at Queen’s Park and within his riding.
