Rick is an award-winning auctioneer and was even inducted into the Idaho Association of Professional Auctioneers "Hall of Fame" in 2008. He is the only auctioneer to have won the Idaho State Auctioneer Championship, twice. He is also a Northwest Champion Auctioneer as well as second runner-up in the International Bid Calling Championship. Rick is also one of the few auctioneers in the nation that can auction in Spanish and English simultaneously.

In 2010 Rick teamed up with Potlatch Land to offer his buyers the best recreation properties available in North Central Idaho. Having grown up in North Central Idaho on a farm and ranch he has always been passionate about the land. Rick has been connecting people with recreational land opportunities in North Central Idaho since he began representing Potlatch. In addition, teaming up with UC Hunting Properties has given us the opportunity to highlight recreation properties in excess of 100 acres in North Central Idaho.

Rick’s love of the land came from his father and grandfather, both ranchers and farmers on the Camas Prairie. In his spare time Rick breeds and raises full-blooded Angus cattle on his 285 acre ranch located between Grangeville and Cottonwood on the Camas Prairie. The month of July usually finds Rick harvesting his hay crop or enjoying a long dog at the Border Days Festival and Rodeo over the fourth of July held in downtown Grangeville, Idaho.
