SUE SAYS

Ric grew up in New Jersey, the youngest of three in a family full of entrepreneurs. While his initial aspirations were in politics, he later launched his own financial firm after an experience with an advisor left him amazed at the lack of integrity in the advice he was given. That instinct served him well, as he is now one of the nation’s success stories.
