About Ricky

After a stellar basketball career at LSU from 1985-1989, Ricky continued his basketball career as a professional player in the NBA, Europe, and South America. The 1986 LSU Basketball team that Ricky was a part of is one of the legendary stories in the history of LSU Basketball. Ricky was an integral part of the Final Four team that defeated the #1, #2, and #3 seeds as they captured the March Madness audience as a true underdog. He was a First Team All-SEC performer his junior and senior year, as well as two-time Team Captain for the LSU Basketball Team. Ricky's seven-year professional basketball career was one that provided great opportunity to expand his career around the world. The highlight of his professional career was an opportunity to be a part of the Chicago Bulls and play with Michael Jordan.
When Ricky retired from playing, he went on to coach as an assistant at LSU and Utah State. Next, he went on to coach children and teens with private lessons and basketball camps. He then became the Head Basketball Coach at Nicholls State University 2002-2004.
Ricky’s transition into insurance in 2004 was a very natural one. He was an educator as a coach and views himself as an educator in the insurance industry. One of the biggest responsibilities he has is to educate his clients on what their insurance policy covers. Ricky is committed to providing the most up to date information to his clients and prospects in regards to employee benefits and the insurance industry.
