Rick's Story
Here's my story:
After graduation I moved to Ypsilanti, Michigan to attend Eastern Michigan University. My Dad lived in the college town and I had the chance to visit the college campus numerious times during my summer vacations. The University has an excellent Business College and Track & Cross Country Program. I think the hardest change was the cold snowy weather and the coeds were not as cute as Florida gals. I had great success in my running, made the all conference team, our team consistantly won our conference titles, ran in the 1976 NCAA national Cross Country Championship at North Texas State University, lettered three years, and was the Captain of the 1978 Cross Country Team.
When I graduated in 1978, I worked for the DeBartolo Corporation (owns Palm Beach Mall) as the Assistant Mall Manager at the Cutler Ridge Mall in Miami. I worked in my position for a year and resigned from my position. I moved to Dallas Texas, where my sister Deb had moved with her husband, seeking new opportunities. I worked for the Hunt Family's Oil and Gas bus...Expand for more
iness as an accountant until 1985. I resigned from my position and accepted a financial analyst position at Southern Methodist University. I spent 19 years working in the Budget Office and was promoted to Director of Budgets and Strategic Planning. I have spent the last 5 years working as the Financial Officer of Dedman College at SMU.
I have not married and have no children. I have come close on several occaisions, but am willing to wait for that special gal. I have been blessed with many friends which I am grateful for.
I still run and workout to keep in shape. I did two marathons several years ago and ran a 3:07 and 3:10. My times would have been faster if I had not developed stomach cramps during the race. I have a home in Plano Texas which keeps me busy with projects and like to entertain friends.
I like to travel and especially like going to tropical beaches. My favorite has been St. Barths where I have visited 14 times. Google St. Barths and you can see why!
The Heisman Trophy in my picture belongs to Doak Walker, SMU's only winner.
