About Us

PARTNER

Rick first learned of the Rural Health Care Program after meeting Tracy Hines, Randy Reznik, and Charlie Wick while working with a mutual client in 2014. What started as a shared interest in helping rural healthcare providers, eventually led to Rick developing software to manage the complex processes and requirements of the Program. Shortly thereafter, Rick joined FFG as a Partner.

In addition to his position at FFG, Rick is on the leadership team at TruNorth, a Technology Expense Management (TEM) firm, where he leads the innovation and development of Sparrow, TruNorth’s enterprise TEM solution.

Rick lives in Boulder, Colorado with his beautiful wife, two sons, two dogs, and an aging Volkswagen van. He enjoys trail running, making things with his hands, and playing drums in a local band. The band is unsigned at the time of this writing.
