Rick was born in New York but moved to Southern California at age two. He and his wife, Alyson, have been married for 24 years and have seven children, ranging from a 22-year-old HIU student all the way down to 1-year-old twins. Three of their children are biological children, two were adopted through LA County 10 years ago, and two are long-term foster placements from Orange County. His family is passionate about ensuring every child has a safe and loving family. Rick partners with Olive Crest and Foster the City to advocate for fostering and adoption.
After 27 years in logistics, operations, and transportation management with UPS and Amazon, Rick has served as the Pastor of Crosspointe Church in downtown Brea, CA, for the past three years. He loves hearing people's stories and helping them encounter Jesus to discover the freedom and joy God intended for them.
