One of the dreams of Rickys life was to be an auctioneer, and have an auction house. His grand father on his moms side was an auctioneer and even though they didn't have much of a relationship there were pictures of his grandpa Rhodes and his auction truck that he would look at. His dad, John would take him to auctions as a boy and the hook was set. He was involved in a few other auction businesses as a ringman and loved it. Rick went to School, got his 80 hours and became a licensed auctioneer in the State of Texas in 2019-from 2019-2024 R.Lynn's Auction Ran, to spite having to shut down for awhile because of Covid.
He had the opportunity to have an auction house business until a personal injury lead him to close in 2024. He still loves auctions, and just does them for a hobby to this day.
