Rick has been working for Yark Auto Group since February 2016. Prior to Yark, he worked with Toledo and Signature Harley-Davidson for almost 10 years. His first paying job at the age of 13 was helping to keep a campground clean and functional. To help pay for the hot rod he was always working on in high school, Rick worked at Rudy's Hot Dog. His favorite part of working at Yark is the concept of putting our customers first. He feels good knowing that we are all working to accomplish and focus on the right things every day. Rick is married to a wonderful person, DeEtte Nijakowski. She runs the Tim Hortons they own. She is an excellent chef and she loves the food industry! He would like to open a small diner someday to showcase her cooking. He is a HUGE Ohio State Fan and loves college football! He tries to make it to a couple games a year and always looks forward to the tough game from the Team Up North. It is always fun in this area with all the fans from both sides! He has many hobbies including motorcycles. He has 5 or 6 and even has one showcased in his house. His wife is a pet lover, and they have exotic cats and even pet goats. As for cars, Rick's favorite is the Corvette. He has always loved them growing up. Someday maybe he will have a couple cool ones like John!
