He finished his active duty time as a UN Peacekeeper in the Western Sahara. Ric was recalled back to active duty after 9/11 and served as an international affairs officer at the Pacific Fleet headquarters in Pearl Harbor. He received a MA in Politics at Harvard University while he assisted Al Franken with the bestseller Lying Liars and the Lies They Tell. Ric works for the U.S. Pacific Fleet policy office, helping to craft Navy-wide doctrine and best practices for maritime Humanitarian and Civil Assistance missions.
