Rick's early life began in Los Angeles, where he was born in a field of corn, but he spent his childhood on a 100-acre farm with no electricity and a wood-burning stove in Crescent City, California. At the age of seven, he returned to the city, where he would later pursue his education and career.
Rick went on to obtain a Bachelor's Degree in Communication from California State University, Northridge, after which he began to focus on acting and modeling. His career took off when he was discovered by legendary male supermodel agent Omar Alberto.
Rick's modeling career was marked by successful collaborations with renowned photographers such as Carlos Reynosa, Cliff Watts, and Matthew Rolston. This exposure allowed him to break into the American and European commercial and modeling markets. He went on to book several commercial and print accounts, including campaigns for Toyota, Wilson Leather, KIA "SOUL" car, Anson's, Wells Fargo Bank, Koff Beer, and Bell Meat, as well as appearing in small roles on television, film, and voice projects.
Beyond his work as an actor, Rick is also a talented artist and photographer. With over nine commissioned pieces, he specializes in landscapes, but also shoots head shots, modeling portfolios, children, and weddings. His photography services extend to feature films, high-profile events, and more.
