Rick wants to live in an ideal world filled with keyboards that resist coffee spills, music that actually sounds like music, and an unlimited abundance of perfect cigars for never-ending perfect moments.
Rick is a sales and marketing professional with more than 20 years of experience in the telecom industry, much of it heavily engaged in channel sales. He’s worked on campaigns for all of America’s major wireless carriers
