Rick, a graduate of UMass Boston, has been in the hospitality industry since 1991. He began his hotel career at the Westin Copley Place in Boston then spent 7 years with Hilton Hotels, most of that time handling citywide conventions for the New Orleans Hilton Riverside. He went on to learn the national sales side of the business with David Green Organization in Chicago in 1998. After their daughter was born, he and his wife moved to AZ in 2003 to raise the family and establish Meeting Your Needs.

A favorite trip that actually happened and why its tops: Mediterranean Cruise 2015 with my wife Renee, our daughter Courtney and a couple dozen close friends.
