As a Business Development Representative at Millwood, Rick focuses on business development within a 100-mile radius of the company’s Lordstown, Ohio operation with a primary emphasis on corner board solutions. In this role he partners with customers across a variety of industries helping them strengthen their packaging operations and protect their products with reliable and cost-effective materials.

Rick’s path to Millwood was guided by his passion for people and relationship-building. Even during his college years he knew he wanted to pursue a career in sales that would allow him to connect with others, learn about their businesses and provide value through meaningful partnerships. Millwood’s relationship-focused culture and strong foundation of faith and integrity made it a natural fit.

Integrity in particular stands out as the value that most resonates with Rick. “Always doing the right thing and helping others along the way is a value I’ve carried with me my whole life,” he says. That principle guides how he approaches both his customers and his colleagues, ensuring that every decision he makes honors trust and transparency.

Rick’s customer base spans a wide range of industries — essentially anyone whose operations involve protective packaging. Whether serving manufacturers, distributors or local producers, he takes pride in delivering solutions that meet real needs and strengthen long-term relationships. His philosophy is simple but impactful: treat others the way you would want to be treated.

Faith also plays a central role in Rick’s life and work. He attributes much of his personal and professional grounding to his trust in God and feels that Millwood’s Christ-centered, faith-based mission reinforces those beliefs every day. Through his dedication to integrity, service and relationships, Rick embodies the values that make Millwood more than just a packaging company — it’s a community built on faith and purpose.
