Rick has been a real
estate agent in the Sedona area for more than 10 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.
