Journalists and editors can find his verified credentials on MuckRack.
His passion is business, and he works tirelessly to make complex investing ideas easy to understand — whether on his YouTube channel, in his books, or across his published work.
Rick started his career young. In 2004, he founded a web marketing agency that was acquired in 2007. He and his partner then became pioneers in the telecom industry, offering a business phone service that worked from anywhere. The company grew rapidly through innovation and strategic acquisitions before being sold in 2014 for a seven-figure exit.
Between 2009 and 2015, Rick served on the board of directors of GVCCU, where he gained inside experience in the mortgage and lending business.
In 2018, he wrote The Financially Independent Millennial to share his story of reaching financial independence at age 35 despite not learning about money growing up. His books are written to be approachable and often highlight the lessons he wishes he could have told his younger self.
Rick later co-authored Success Mindsets, which became a Wall Street Journal bestseller on November 13, 2021.
When he’s not analyzing markets, Rick is an enthusiast of fast cars, technology, and good food.
