Rick is a full-time farmer and a full-time doctor of internal medicine. That does not leave much time for TV. He has sarcastic sense of humor, began drinking wine at age 50 and has one leg longer than other. Rick can't remember if he can count the number of marathons he has run on two hands, but he was once very opposed to ATV use and has undergone a radical transformation into an ATV daredevil.
