At the age of fifteen he began a songwriting career influenced
by such bands and artists as Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Harry Chapin,
Billy Joel and Barry Manilow.
Rick now writes music influenced by such artists as Joshua Kadison, Cat Stevens
and Jim Croce. He strives to write music with messages drawn from himself and
those closest to him with lyrics that are meaningful but accessible to all audiences.
Rick also wants his music to be a catalyst in helping others. He has performed
over 50 concerts where the only price of admission were cans of food donated
