Rick is a native Floridian and a graduate of Roosevelt University in Chicago. He earned a B.A. in English which he put to use as a field officer for the Internal Revenue Service. Inspired and encouraged by his wife, he decided his degree might also be useful in writing books and in 2004 he began writing full-time. Inspired by his ten year journey into the government's bureaucratic netherworld, he wrote the memoir CONFESSIONS OF A TAX COLLECTOR ("humor, pathos, and insights into the human condition on almost every page" —Houston Chronicle). Since then he has launched two critically acclaimed series: THE EXTRAORDINARY ADVENTURES OF ALFRED KROPP, for young readers (which is being developed as a feature film by New Regency), and THE HIGHLY EFFECTIVE DETECTIVE, for adults. Both books are set in Knoxville, Tennessee, where Rick lived for ten years before returning to Florida. Rick lives with his wife, Sandy, his three sons, two dogs and one lizard.
