Rick has been a real estate
agent in the Sedona area for more than 7 years. His
expertise in advertising and online marketing helps position
him as one of the top agents in Sedona. Rick’s
versatile marketing approach incorporates traditional print
advertising and tech savvy programs which set him apart
from every other agent in Sedona.
Rick is an active agent in a town that
thrives on the outdoors and healthy living. His wife
Jennifer is the President/CEO of the Sedona Chamber of
Commerce. Life for them is always busy, but they are
sure to take time out for hiking, exploring, and enjoying
the red rock vistas from remote points that most people
only see in photographs.
Together they also realize
the importance of giving back to the community that they
love. When they moved to Sedona 9 years ago, they
started volunteer work with several organizations including:
Meals on Wheels, Big Brothers/ Big Sisters, Northern
Arizona Duck Race benefiting the Sedona Boys and Girls
Clubs, Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors and Visitor Center
Volunteers, Rotary Club of Sedona Red Rocks, and the
Sedona Dog Park, just to name a few. One of Rick’s
most notable accomplishments includes the creation of
the Sedona Dog Park.
Ali, the family dog, was the inspiration
for the Sedona
Dog Park. This 4-year long project was finally
completed in 2007. Rick and co-founder John Lupo started
a non-profit organization, raised funds, obtained city
approval and built an off-leash park to be used by
all dog owners in Sedona. It’s one of the
country’s best dog parks – just ask anyone
there! If you're interested in getting involved, email
Rick or visit the Sedona Dog Park website.
Rick was raised in Chicago and obtained
a degree in Advertising at the University of Illinois
in 1992. He worked for 7 years in sales and marketing
for an adventure sports company in Interlaken, Switzerland.
Working knowledge of French and German hasn't helped
much in Sedona, but his experience and problem-solving
abilities are an asset in the real estate field.
Before moving to Sedona, Rick and Jennifer
explored exotic destinations such as: China, Japan, Thailand,
Fiji, Nepal, New Zealand, Australia, Korea, Saipan, Morocco,
Costa Rica, Mexico, and most of the countries in Europe. After
working and traveling all over the globe he and Jennifer
settled in Sedona. They still take time to travel every
year and regardless of the destination they look forward
to returning to their favorite place on earth…Sedona.
When Rick isn't working he usually
spends time running, hiking, mountain biking, golfing
or just enjoying the outdoors. Every February, Rick
can be found running the Sedona
Marathon or snowboarding on long winter weekends
in Colorado, Utah or Whistler.
