In his freshman year of college, Rick’s parents arrived unannounced at his dorm room door to tell him, “Son you have Hodgkin’s Disease, cancer.” That semester, he fought cancer in silence, while still attending college among his peers. Struggling to fit in, he told no one; Rick walked alone.
After a relapse, he dropped out of college to get chemotherapy and more radiation. Nine months later, Rick’s doctor pronounced him cancer-free.
Now a 27-plus-year survivor, he graduated and took his second chance to climb Mt. Rainier, run the Boston Marathon, swim from Alcatraz to shore 12 times, and more. He has a college-aged son, Lance and has written Better Dirty Than Done, a book about survivorship. Professionally, he has worked as a project manager, manager, and senior director in several industries. Rick founded Dude, I Have Cancer to help men deal with cancer and survivorship.
Today, as a motivational speaker, Rick has spoken to large and small audiences including students, survivors, physicians, and corporations.
