Board member since 2024

I am so very grateful and honored to serve and be a part of such a wonderful organization that is super focused on supporting those that are affected by cutaneous lymphoma.

The Cutaneous Lymphoma Foundation is such a wealth of information for patients, families, care partners, physicians and medical practitioners. It continues to grow as a resource for all and I am so very excited to support its growth and expansion of educational resources in all different manners and forms.  

Rick is a Public School Educator with over 30 years of experience working with high school students with various diverse learning challenges. Rick has had diversified career and educational experiences with degrees in Special Education, Educational Administration, Clinical Social Work, Retail Business Management, Sports and Exercise Studies and EMT training.  

Rick is also a patient who was diagnosed as Stage 1a with mycosis fungoides in 2007. He was provided with a CL Foundation brochure in his dermatologist’s office who then referred him to a CTCL team for evaluation and treatment. Looking further into the Cutaneous Lymphoma Foundation on the internet was so very reassuring. Later attending a regional Patient Educational Forum helped him understand even more. Rick has volunteered with the Foundation in the past speaking in 2016 at the 2-Day Patient Conference in Chicago and participating in a webinar in 2022 for young patients and their families.
