Ric is married to Shirley and has four children: Ryan, finishing his second year of law school, Erica (married to Andy Rohrer), an elementary teacher in the Warwick School District, Nate, a recent Penn State grad working for the government in DC and Kelli, finishing her senior year at Hempfield HS and entering High Point University, High Point, NC this Fall. Ric is a pastor, teacher and mentor who also coaches varsity swimming (five years) at Warwick High School. He has a passion for the missional church, spiritual community through Grace Groups, Germany, relationships and mentoring/investing in young adults and couples.
Ric enjoys dreaming about classic and sports cars as he watches the Barrett-Jackson and Mecum Auto Auctions on the Speed Channel. His dream come true was driving a friend's Porsche 911 Turbo Carrera Cabriolet on the twisty roads of the Black Forest and the Autobahn in Gemany. He has one more dream yet to accomplish: to attend the Monte Carlo Gran Prix some May! He also plays the guitar/sings with his wife some and loves to read and travel. He is horrible with his hands and cannot even use a simple tool like a hammer! He keeps his Facebook page up to date (relationships, remember?) and especially enjoys his international friendships!
With more than 25 years of pastoral experience, Ric is in his third year at Grace Point.
