About Rick »

I was born in Colorado but have lived most of my life in Missouri. I have been an avid Denver Broncos’ fan as long as I can remember. I have spent most of my life surrounded by Chiefs’ fans and even spent a few years living in KC (the Snake Pit). But my passion for the Broncos has never faltered.

I also enjoy college basketball (Mizzou Tigers and MO State Bears) and Mizzou Football.
