Fitness has been apart of Rick's life since he was a kid. Growing up on a farm in northwest Indian in the 70's and 80's almost everything was done with some sort of manual labor involved. The stronger you were the faster you could complete the task. Sports was always part of my lifestyle and ultimately help me with my collegiate sport career. At Indiana University Rick received B.S. Exercise Kinesiology and minored in Biology, Psychology.

For the past 20+ years Rick has worked as a personal trainer, strength coach, life coach and golf fitness specialist. During this time Rick has had the chance to study and gain certifications under some of the greatest fitness minds of the past 30 years. TPI staff from the Titleist Performance Institute, Paul Chek and staff from the CHEK Institute, Charles Poliquin for the Poliquin Institute, Dr. Austin DO From the Trigentic Institute and Dr. Van D Merkle DC from Science Based Nutrition.

Rick started Envision Fitness in the late 90's and started working at Sand Creek Country Club in 1997. He started as a personal trainer and soon took over as the Director of Fitness and Recreation and after 20+ years he still calls Sand Creek his home today. He specializes in Golf fitness but, has help members and their guests achieve optimal wellness through sound nutritional programs or looking at specialized blood and hair mineral test. He firmly believes that we can only find the source of your injury or ailment through a proper assessment. "If you don't assess, then you are guessing". This also goes along with reaching your goals. The human body is only capable of getting stronger or more flexible if everything is in balance and working together.
