Dick was born on Easter Sunday 1940 in Rhode Island. He was raised as the eldest of four brothers and led and early life of rebellion and poor choices, including heavy use of alcohol. That season of his life included a public life of business and politics. At the age of 33 he experienced the trauma of a major bankruptcy and the desperation of limited choices. He became sober and began what has been a lifetime of helping "hurting people."
He experienced a spiritual renewal of his relationship with Jesus Christ that had begun in adolescence but had been dissipated by drinking. Having worked in the secular field of counseling for years, he felt a calling to be a
Christian counselor. Dick began ministering as a Christian pastoral counselor, after moving to Florida with his wife Judy, In 1994 Dick founded Hope Ministries ( a Christian Counseling Ministry) that has thrived serving "hurting people".
Dick retired in 2009 for health reasons and concentrated his energy on health improvement. He was accepted back to the staff of Hope Ministries in 2011, to launch a new seminar ministry called "Hope, Healing and Victorious Living". He is offering these presentations in Christian churches, Christian home groups and Christian recovery groups. He will also offer a Life Assessment.
