Following a start with Ogilvy & Mather, Rick has joined Mark McCormack, who is the lawyer and business manager for many of the world's. foremost professional and amateur athletes. Rick works directly with Jean-Claude Killy and Stein Eriksen, and to spread himself around the athletic seasons, also works with Jack Nicklaus.
