After a short stint of working as a bank teller, he joined International Harvester Company in his hometown of Hamilton, Ontario as a clerk. He moved to the diesel truck division as a specification writer and then on to writing owner’s and operator’s manuals for other International products.
After five years at Harvester he moved to London, Ontario to become an advertising copywriter for Western Tire and Auto Supply, a company with 60 stores located throughout the eastern provinces.
The book begins with the return to his hometown to begin work in a newspaper career that would span forty-four years, and as Rick says, “sort of, continues to this day.”
He and his family immigrated to the United States in 1973 to Michigan where he joined Capital Cities Corporation as retail advertising manager at the Oakland Press.
He became a United States citizen in 1982 after being promoted to publisher of the Mountain Press in East Tennessee. He also continued his education and graduated from High School that same year.
For most of his newspaper career he has worked in public companies such as Southam Newspapers, Capital Cities Corporation, Harte-Hanks Communications, Gray Television and Triple Crown Media.
Career side trips with Worrell Enterprises, Sutherland Newspapers, Southern Farm Publications, Ogden Newspapers, Tribune-Review Printing and Chatfield Taylor Enterprises have helped round out his experience.
While short on scholastic education, Rick has loads of practical education and knowledge gained in his travels as a manager of publications in four Canadian Cities and nine American states.
For the last ten years of his career, Rick worked in the Suburban Atlanta area, first as publisher of the Gwinnett Daily Post and Rockdale Citizen and then as president of Post-Citizen Media. When Gray Television spun off those properties in a new public entity called Triple Crown Media, Rick became ice-president of that company, overseeing operations of the Gwinnett and Rockdale newspapers as well as the Newton Citizen, the Clayton News Daily, the Henry Herald and the Jackson Progress Argus. He retired from Triple Crown in 2006.
He now is president of Continental Features, a division of Rae Media Services Inc., a media company owned by he and his wife.vizualizați mai puține
