Rick Balzen - Senior Broker

Anxious to get on with life, Rick dropped out of college and bought his first business at the age of 19: a profitable convenience store/gas station. After a few years, he sold it, was married, and earned a degree in business (double major in Management and Marketing). Upon graduation, he became an account manager for a very large computer manufacturer, selling hardware and software solutions to the banking industry. Preferring the greater independence and challenge, he joined a small company in the mid-eighties to launch a new financial software application, managing sales and marketing as well as guiding product development. He later became a partner in a computer training and consulting company serving clients nationwide and, after five years of achieving significant growth in both revenues and profits, sold out in 1998 (near the top of the market!). Too young to retire and easily bored, Rick put his diverse background and interests to good use as a licensed business broker, where he brings considerable energy and creativity to finding good matches between buyers and sellers.
