Ricky was born and raised in Jacksonville Florida, where he still resides with his amazing wife and two children. Ricky’s first mentor was his father who is a pastor that has always spoke and led a life of truth based on Biblical principles. At age 19 as a High School drop-out living in a 300 square foot apartment, Ricky found his second mentor which was a successful business man. This inspired him to start a painting company, and by age 21 he had 37 employees. He grew what was originally only a painting company, to a large construction company that operated in 7 different divisions in construction. His construction company produced over a million dollars in annual revenue. Ricky’s wife, Francoise, then decided to leave her Nursing career to raise their children. Due to the economy crashing in 2008, they went down to $400 in their bank account and couldn’t even provide a Christmas for their family. Ricky realized how dependent that industry was on the ever-changing economy and promised himself he would never put his family in this position again by relying on one stream of income. Ricky understood that entrepreneurship was the path to true financial and time freedom, so went on a mission to rebuild his construction company. When Ricky and Francoise were on their dream trip in Fiji, the beautiful scenery inspired them to want to build something together to generate life-changing income. As they began the journey of exploring opportunities, Francoise didn’t like any of the ideas Ricky came up with because they all included a large financial investment and required Francoise to be away from her children often. When Francoise was introduced to Network Marketing, Ricky doubted the opportunity due to a previous bad experience. Once he realized the power of the industry and saw the vision of working with his wife, he found a passion for working with other successful Entrepreneurs in this profession. They both jumped in and broke every industry record by hitting Diamond in 7 days with their first company. They started to truly understand the power of building residual income and became fulfilled by helping others build it for themselves. Ricky knew the power of mentorship since that’s how he began his journey and began growing a passion for mentoring others. When they saw Vasayo they understood the power of the Leadership with Dallin Larsen, the groundbreaking Liposomal Technology in the nutraceutical space, the timing of the company, and caught the vision of where the company could take them. They are now one of the top couples in 9 countries through hitting Black Diamond in their first month, generating 7 figures in income while helping to create freedom for many others. They love Vasayo! With the launch of CBD… they’re just getting started.
