The 32-year-old works as a Senior Medical Sales Representative at Bioventus, and he currently resides in Los Angeles, Calif. He attended college at Walsh University in North Canton, Ohio (the state where he is from), and he obtained his undergraduate degree in Marketing.

Rick continued his education at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, and he received his Master's Degree in Business Administration in 2021.

According to his Bachelorette bio, Rick is a "hopeless romantic," and he's been imagining life with his future wife for quite some time. On the show, Rick opened up about some of the difficulties he and his family faced after he learned that his father was cheating on his mother.

He shared that, when he was a teenager, he saw a text message on his dad's phone while his parents were out shopping. Rick noticed that the text was from another woman, and he decided to tell his mom about it about a day later.

His parents split up shortly thereafter, and Rick said that he felt like his dad blamed him for their divorce. He noted that his father was depressed for about 10 years, and that he ultimately passed away in 2018.

"I know deep down, like my dad, 'til the day he died, still blamed me because I blew the whistle, unfortunately. It hurts," Rick explained to Michelle.

Rick has shared many photos of his late dad on his Instagram page. He's also posted about his incredibly close bond with his mom and his connection to his younger brother, Sean Leach.
