Rick loves the outdoors and wants to do his part to ensure it’s clean and safe for his adult children, grandchildren, and all who enjoy the outdoors.  His summers are spent on the Merrimack and the waters around New England and enjoying the mountains of New England, backcountry, and resort skiing in the winter. Over the years, Rick has been VP and board member of the Conway Lake (NH) Conservation Association with similar concerns as the MRWC, volunteered with the Granite Backcountry Alliance, Lowell Boat Shop, Board of Education for the 2nd Congregational Church of West Boxford and a Leadership Gift Officer at Regis College.

Rick is passionate about the Merrimack River and its watershed and preserving it for the enjoyment of all.
