Rick has more than 30 years of experience in the solid waste industry. His career began in 1990 when he was fortunate to learn the business as a waste collection truck driver. Rick has been a longtime Waste Pro employee serving in Division Manager roles in Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida.

Initially, he joined Waste Pro in 2011, working in our Pensacola Division. Rick then moved to Gautier in 2012 to help with a municipal start-up in Harrison County. He remained in Gautier as the Division Manager until 2015, when a Division Manager position became available in Florida at Waste Pro’s Lake County Division. In 2018, Rick relocated and accepted a position as the Division Manager in Pensacola, overseeing service to over 48,000 customers.

As the Division Vice President of the Coastal Region, Rick oversees operations in the Milton, Tallahassee, Crestview Divisions, and the Panhandle transfer stations. The Regional area provides collection services to over 220,000 residential and commercial customers.

Rick loves the outdoors. When he is not out fishing, he is active in many community organizations and fully embraces caring for communities. He also enjoys spending time mentoring young leaders in the Coastal Region to assist with career advancement within Waste Pro.
