Rick began his musical training at the Academia de Música Moderna in San José, Costa Rica, under the tutelage of renown Latin American drummer, Carlos Sanders. Here he began basic drumset and percussion training, which quickly became his passion, and evolved into a love for making music. This newfound sense of purpose would lead him to leave his native Costa Rica and enroll at Shenandoah University in Winchester, Virginia, where he would discover two new skills: recording and producing. After completing a robust coursework that included music theory, arranging, composition, and sound engineering classes, Rick received his Bachelor's of Music in Commercial Music in 2007. While completing his degree, Rick also taught drumset lessons and continued composing and performing as a drummer with many local musicians which gave him invaluable insight into music production.
