Rick Kingsley

Rick believes the most effective way to reach the world of tomorrow for the Gospel is to reach the campus today. His perfect day would involve getting out of the house early for a run, going fishing at St. Marks, or calling in a gobbler in the woods. Then, he loves going home to recharge with a strong coffee and/or nap before spending the afternoon and evening with friends and family. His favorite thing to do in Tallahassee is dinner with his lovely wife Tina at Backwoods Crossing.
