Rick Beard & his family
Remembering Rick Beard
Anyone who knew Rick recognized he had a true zest for life. Rick did everything at one speed – whether it was traveling, playing golf, delivering “feedback” to his beloved St. Louis Cardinals, or servicing a client. And that speed was full blast. His energy was infectious and countless people were carried by it professionally and personally.

An innovator, creative problem-solver, and one of the flat out smartest people we’ve ever met, Rick is survived by his equally as charismatic wife, Sonia, and two ingenious, very accomplished children Charlie and Carly.

Rick attended the US Military Academy at West Point and Harvard Business School, served his country honorably, founded a successful firm, and raised a thriving family.

A humble man despite his achievements, Rick always regaled friends, colleagues, and clients alike with his stories, opinions, and theories. He could hold court surrounded by the hundreds of personal and professional friends he made at the watering holes and Golden Tee golf game locations throughout the country! A larger-than-life presence, he is dearly missed.
