In his spare time rick likes to read, swim, and play guitar.
The first book he remember reading for fun was the Lord of the Rings. he probably read it ten times. He also liked Greek and Norse mythology since he was in middle school. he read mostly fantasy and science fiction in high school, then got interested in mysteries when he got to college. His parents were both teachers. His mom was a musician and an artist, too. His dad was a ceramicist (he made stuff out of clay), so He grew up in a very artistic family.
