Rick Riccardi
Founder, CEO - Fellowship Living
Founder of the Fellowship Living Facilities, Rick has lived 16 years sober and is now dedicated to helping others do the same. He is married to Susan Tembeck Warner, who has been sober since 2002. He has 4 children from a previous marriage and 8 grandchildren ages 3 to 22 years old.
Rick spent 25 years on Wall Street in New York City as a municipal bond specialist. He managed institutional sales, trading, and underwriting departments in major firms. He built his own successful securities firm. Rick’s humanitarian side placed him on the Board of Director’s for the New York City Police Athletic League, which cared for over 60,000 inner city children. Rick also created and directed an Annual Sports Night Fund raiser, raising over $250,000 for P.A.L.
Rick moved to Fort Lauderdale in 1999. He became very active member of the Rotary Club of Fort Lauderdale. In April 2002, Rick caused a serious auto accident. In 2004, he spent 8 1/2 months in the Broward Sheriff’s Correctional Facility where he became the facilitator for both the Anger Management and 60 day Substance Abuse Programs. From this life changing event he saw the need for a safe place to be clean and sober when one is released from jails, treatment centers or detoxification settings. Thus, while serving his 2 years of community control, the Fellowship Living Facilities came into being.
Rick is an active member of his local community. He presently serves as Treasurer on the Board of Directors of Unity Church of Pompano Beach and is a member of both the Margate/Coconut Creek Kiwanis Club and the Margate Chamber of Commerce. Rick continues to be passionate about helping people find clean and sober living.
