Rick holds the record as being the longest tenured team member in the entire company. Having been with Laurel Valley since 1979, Rick has watched more sunrises from the seat of a loader than most people see sunsets from their back porches. He’s the one who keeps all the day-to-day operations moving: from inventory management, quality control, production scheduling, equipment acquisitions and repairs, facility improvements, logistics and transportation scheduling, to forecasting the weather, and carefully calculating and testing mix ratios and product formulas. Rick manages to squeeze 25 hours out of a day and despite all that, still keeps his cool while quite literally moving mountains (of soil).
