Richard Frederick Myer

Rick was born on May 3, 1958, to Victor and Catherine (Reynolds) Myer in Park Ridge, IL. He attended the University of Arizona, where he graduated with a degree in information systems management. At the University of Arizona, Rick was a member of the Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity and was a life-long fan of the Arizona Wildcats Basketball Team.
