Rick is a retired U.S. postal worker from Northern Michigan who has dreamed of solving the Oak Island mystery since he first read about it in the January 1965 issue of Reader’s Digest at the age of 11.

Rick is the kind of guy who sees the world in black and white; honor is everything, and when you believe in something, you never give up. As he puts it: “Once in, forever in!” His faith that someone went to great efforts to hide something of incredible value centuries ago on Oak Island has only been strengthened by the many incredible clues he, his brother, Marty and their team have discovered since they took over the treasure hunt in 2006.
