Growing up a Morris meant growing up wanting to learn to build things. Rick has always enjoyed the challenge of figuring out how something is put together and how it works.

After graduating from ASU in 1972 with a B.Sc.in Civil Engineering, Rick worked for 5 years in the Phoenix area as a Construction Project manager. He estimated and managed the construction of a wide variety of commercial and residential buildings.

His desire for learning took him to Corvallis and Rick attended Oregon State University, studying civil engineering and construction management.

From there he moved further north to the Seattle

area where he enjoyed two years as a site development design engineer.

His eleven years at Northward Construction as Vice President of Construction brought Rick a lot of responsibilities and personal growth. He was responsible for the administration and management of projects ranging from multi-family apartments and condominiums to high-end single-family homes ranging upwards of $30 million per year.

Having his own company and building fine custom homes has been his dream come true. Westfork Construction has been a huge success since it began in the year 2000 and will continue for many, many years to come.
