North Tonawanda gave me the friends and skills enabling me to go off and achieve my dreams!
Today, because of all of my classmates, teachers and coaches it is my turn to return the favor to a new generation of young men and women. I am fotunate to be a co owner of an architectural and design firm in Cincinnati ,Ohio called MSA. You can see what I have been doing for the last thirty years by visiting www.msaarch.com. Along with my practice I am involved in coaching my sons football and basketball teams. My wife of 14 years Cindy and I have two wonderful children and a great network of friend's here in Cincy. I have also been fortunate to be nomimated to several boards in Cincinnati, including the Chamber Orchestra, Cincinnati Housing Partners ( a non-for profit housing organization) and Cincinnati Union bethel( a 100yr old organization devoted to helping under priviledged single women). I am also on the board of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati Inner City Schools. This organization runs eight elementary schools within the city.
So, life is good!! I want to thank you all for standing by me and not giving up on me ( even though I am sure you wanted to many times).
I look forward to seeing everyone this summer!
Best
Rick

Sal, to this day I can remember every football practice . I also remember when the two of us borrowed my mom's car and drove to Cincinnati To visit Colleges.When Sal and I drove to Miami University In Oxford , Ohio and saw all those co -eds we knew we had arrived!!
