Dick is a 20 year Air Force Veteran and graduate of the United States Air Force Academy. He was a career Finance Officer, serving in a multitude of leadership roles across the nation and around the Globe. Since his retirement from the Air Force he has worked for a variety of organizations, but found his true passion in supporting the disabled veteran community, primarily as an adaptive ski instructor. In 2018 he left corporate America to pursue supporting Disabled Veterans on a full time basis with the Paralyzed Veterans of America and has not looked back.
During the warm months you may see him riding his beach cruiser around the streets of Seal Beach, and during the winter you will most likely find him on the weekends on the ski slopes, either giving an adaptive lesson or freeriding one of his Ski Bikes.
