Outside of his work with the University of Memphis, Rick also serves as a University of Tennessee Health Science Center Advisory Board member.

Rick has been married to his wife Sandy for over 50 years, and although they reside in Memphis, they regularly visit the Florida restaurants and enjoy their second home in Paradise by the Sea.
