“I just wanted to share my gratitude for the immense help I have received from Ricky. Being a mentor isn’t easy, understanding someone’s burdens and being willing to listen to someone’s sorrows. I think it takes an incredibly patient person to want to offer guidance to those who need it. I am grateful for you being there at every turn and wanting to lend me advice in situations that seemed impossible to be in.

Nothing seems impossible anymore and I have a huge amount of respect for Ricky. Time is limited and thank you for giving it to me. I have grown professionally and personally because of our sessions and I hope I continue to do so.

Thank you for being you, and thank you for being there for me”
