Bio
Matthew Tyoe
Rick is an excellent leader. His door is truly always open to work through anything to find a solution. Rick is the type of leader who would never ask or expect something from a co-worker he wouldn’t be willing to do himself. It was a pleasure to work with him.

I had the pleasure of working with Rick for over 3 years. He was the hired me to work on his team and it was one of the best employment decisions I have ever made. He encouraged and developed his staff to lead, empowering them to make decisions knowing that he would have their back. Rick had a way with members - he made them feel very welcome and important to his daily life. In a facility that had over 30,000 members, he knew many members more than just to say hi, he got to know them and their families. The YMCA is a community staple, and as that, Rick was a community leader. His relationships also cultivated donations which helped to support our Y. Given the opportunity, I would happily work with Rick again. Any company would be a better place with him as a part of their leadership team.
