Guiding the Next Generation of Leaders.

With over 30 years in engineering, manufacturing, leadership, and community building, Rick now offers mentorship to those who want to grow with purpose, not just ambition.

Leadership is not just taught. It’s lived, shared, and multiplied.

The Kind of Leaders I Mentor

Mentorship is a two-way journey built on trust, growth, and shared purpose.

Growth-Driven

You actively seek personal and professional development and aren’t afraid to stretch beyond your comfort zone.

Willing to Learn & Give

You come with questions, but also bring value to others through support, insight, and collaboration.

Open & Honest

You’re transparent about your goals and receptive to feedback, even when it’s hard to hear.

Humble & Hungry

You know you haven’t figured it all out, and that excites you. You’re eager for more, without ego.

Vision-Focused

You think big. You have dreams, targets, and a fire to make a meaningful impact.

Conflict-Ready (In the Right Way)

You’re willing to engage in tough, respectful conversations — the kind that move people and ideas forward.

The best way to find out if you can trust somebody is to trust them.

Ernest Hemingway

If you're not making mistakes, then you're not doing anything.

John Wooden

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.

Albert Schweitzer

The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old but on building the new

Socrates

When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.

Paulo Coelho

Listen, smile, agree, and then do whatever you were gonna do anyway.

Robert Downey Jr.

You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.

Wayne Gretzky

You only live once, but if you live it right, once is enough.

Mae West

Just one small positive thought in the morning can change your whole day.

Dalai Lama

People often say that motivation doesn’t last. Well, neither does bathing—that’s why we recommend it daily.
