His ability to understand employee needs and motivate them to improve stood out. Rick's work ethic, professionalism, and dedication were unmatched. As a communicator, he fostered open conversations with employees and clients, finding the best solutions for everyone.

His leadership as the owner of r2 Technologies, combined with his exceptional work ethic and communication skills, make him an invaluable asset to any organization. It was a privilege to work alongside him, and I'm confident he will continue to achieve great things.”

Our committee supports Boy Scouts is an effective way to help Catholic youths to do their duty to God and to their country. Scouting builds character and teaches devotion to God in an environment that provides wholesome fun under the guidance of strong adult role models. The scouting programs provide a wonderful channel to involve youth in the life of Catholic parishes. Young people experience Scouting as a growth into personal maturity and social responsibility. They learn to assume their role in life with a high degree of commitment, and to care for others who are less fortunate. They develop a strong desire to build a culture of goodwill, respect for the environment and acceptance of duties.
