Just Me

About Me

Rick has had the distinct privilege and honor to work with some of the best song writers, producers, promoters, artists, record labels, and studios around the world. He got his start in music around the age of 11 when he taught himself how to play the drums. From there, he started traveling the country with different Christian and Country bands.Shortly thereafter, he started dabbling in writing music and was soon picked up by the famous Nashville Publisher and Manager, Mike Kinnamon. Mike took Rick under his wing and showed him “the ropes” to the music business. From there he has enjoyed success in the industry with song cuts for bands and artists like Stockholm Stoner (Artists with the former group Abba). He has written songs for Mike Nash (Nashville Country Music Artist), Jaime Thietten (Adult Contemporary Christian Artist), and JT Tallent (Acoustic Christian Artist).Also, he has various experiences in the Christian Ministry with history in music, leadership, youth, preaching, and so on. Recently, he signed on as a songwriter with Farm Boy Music Group and is being hailed as one of the most talented songwriters to hit the music scene by Gary and Connie Farmer (Farm Boy Music Group and Wolf Den Studios). Rick continues to write music and serve the Lord with all his heart and soul. He is blessed to have a loving wife, Heather, along with Kassy, Conner, Carley, and Kloe...their 4 children.This layout was handmade with love by the folks at My space or yours? using original artwork by Marah Johnson.
