Rick comes to SAGE after serving as HRC's National Political Fundraiser in 2012 preceded by 8 years at Lambda Legal as the National Events Director and Major Gifts Officer. Rick's commitment to fundraising for organizations in the LGBT and HIV communities began when he was Co-Chair of the first Atlanta AIDS Walk in 1991, an event that raised over $1,000,000. That successful experience led him on a path to a position for several years with HRC as the Western Region Events Manager. After HRC, Rick worked as a Donor Services Officer for the Gill Foundation before eventually joining Lambda Legal.
