Cancer Survivor: 2x, 27-Years, Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Author: Better Dirty Than Done
Rick was first diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Disease as a freshman in college at age 19. After undergoing radiation treatments, it relapsed only 18 months later. Determined to graduate, Rick dropped out of college, underwent chemotherapy, and returned to earn his degree.

These stories are part of his memoir, Better Dirty Than Done. Personally, Rick is a proud father to 19-year old son, Lance. Professionally, he has worked as a CPA, project manager, and director across the financial, high tech, and water treatment industries. Recreationally, you can find him riding his bike.
