Rick

As a young, tall man who stands out in a crowd, Rick takes pride in his personality and the great life he enjoyed over the years at CSC.

"I love fire trucks, fishing, and basketball and going home during weekends," says Rick when asked what he likes to do most. Years ago, when he first came from Western Maryland to live in the community, he used to attract the attention of fire fighters and police by dialing 911 several times a day. Rick has changed. "I do not do that any more," Rick would say. But he still goes to fire stations to see trucks and fire fighters.

Rick enjoys telling stories. He talks about his fishing trips, vacations and especially about trips with his father to the woods to hunt deer and other animals. Don't be surprised if he tells you that he had caught bad guys with his brother who is a policeman.

He enjoys parties of all sorts. You might come across him dressed in his tuxedo ready for yet another party! Besides fishing, hunting, telling stories and attending parties, Rick is a terrific worker. He works three jobs on a regular basis. He wants to spend the money he earns to buy a home and perhaps a car. In the meantime, he is enjoying an independent life in the community with great supports from CSC.
