Positive & Uplifting
Rick is an Orange County, CA native-turned Midwesterner. Though he was not born here in eastern Iowa, Rick is no stranger to the Midwest. Even as a little boy growing up in suburban Chicago, Rick dreamed of being on the radio. After finishing school, Rick packed up his things and realized his love for radio, stopping in cities such as Peoria, Rockford, Milwaukee, Chicago, Las Vegas, and now eastern Iowa.
Rick is married to his high school sweetheart, Sarah. On the advice of everyone around him, Rick avoided drinking the water while honeymooning in Mexico. However, Rick failed to heed one important fact – wearing your wedding ring in the ocean isn’t a great idea. While boogie boarding, his ring slipped off and went out to sea. It was nowhere to be found.
Rick and Sarah have a daughter, June, and son, Marshall. Chances are you’ll find the two of them together enjoying their favorite meal of the day, breakfast, or sipping a latte at an eclectic coffeehouse.
Don’t think of organ donations as giving up part of yourself to keep a total stranger alive. It’s really a total stranger giving up almost all of themselves to keep part of you alive.

One slice at a time Take Mason Wartman…

You make me wanna move - Like no one’s watching - I know You’ll get me through - Gonna keep on walking - You always make a way - When the storm is raging - No matter what I’m facing - I count on You - Miracles happen when You move
When did He break His promise - When did His kindness fail - Never has - Never will - My God is still the same
Did he move every mountain? Did he part every sea? Yes He did - So yes He can -Did he defeat the darkness? Did he deliver me? Yes he did - So yes he can
Ain’t nothing like a gospel song - Makes me want to sing it all day long - Something ‘bout that amazing grace sound of praise - Makes my troubles not seem so strong
