 When
not advocating buyers' or seller's real estate interests, you'll find
Rick hiking with his wife Holly (who was a hiking guide at Canyon Ranch
for several years), playing tennis on his men's 4.5 team, volunteering
for local social service programs, taking his Australian Shepherd - Shay
- to the dog park or singing at his Temple as a cantorial soloist and
choir member.
Of course, being food
lovers from Chicago, Rick and Holly are always exploring Tucson's
wonderful restaurant choices from a million cantinas to nouveau and
haute cuisine - we've got them all, and Rick is happy to share his
recommendations. |

| GETTING
FROM THERE TO HERE |
|
I
knew I would love the desert when I first visited Tucson during
Christmas vacation as a 10 year old boy from Chicago. As a student at
the University
 of Arizona in 1968 and later as an owner of a real
estate company contemplating Tucson land purchases in the early 1980's,
this "love affair" continued as I became thoroughly hooked by
Tucson's wonderful combination of natural beauty, unbeatable climate,
and cultural depth and diversity. Finally, in 1993, I became a full
fledged Tucsonan, moving here with my wife Holly to continue a real
estate career; although, changing my focus and becoming exclusively a
homesite and land specialist.
Little did I know that
my boyhood fascination with giant saguaros, barrells, ocotillos, washes
and river beds, rolling rocky terrain, thick mesquite groves and the
rugged mountains that ring the valley would literally become my office
and the basis for a fulfilling and prosperous second career. One in
which I've had the opportunity to meet and work with so many wonderful
people from all around the country. |
