What began as cheering on his daughters from the sidelines grew into a lifelong passion for capturing the moments that define Bryant Athletics. Through his camera lens, Rick preserved countless memories—from championship celebrations to quiet moments of determination—that families, coaches, athletes, and our community will treasure for years to come.
Rick's talent earned statewide recognition, including First Place awards from the Arkansas Associated Press Managing Editors and the Saline Courier, along with membership in the prestigious Sports Shooter community. Yet, those who knew Rick will remember him most for his kindness, humor, and unwavering support of Bryant students.
His photographs continue to line the halls of the Bryant Hornet Football Field House, serving as a lasting reminder of the pride, tradition, and excellence he so beautifully captured.
Thank you, Rick, for sharing your gift with Bryant Athletics and for preserving our story one photograph at a time. Your legacy will continue to inspire generations of Hornets.
Forever a Hornet.
