Rick by Cathy: Rick is one of the most amazing (and funniest) people I know. I really admire what an impact he has made on the lives of his students and their families. It’s truly refreshing to see how much his students trust and look up to him. He has such a gentle and calm way of relating to people. The part I love about him most is his silly side. He has a strange gift for making up funny songs or changing the lyrics to songs that is just hysterical! He is constantly making me laugh. I look forward to hearing the songs he will make up for our child, or watching him teach our child how to surf and catch his or her first wave.
