Rick Brinkley
Rick Brinkley is a former national Emmy-nominated television producer, non-profit President and CEO, State Senator, minister, addict and felon.

As a result of choices made in his addiction, he was sentenced to 37 months in Federal Prison. While in prison and since being released, he has spent a majority of his time working with other addicts and their families. Today, Rick tells his story with humor and sincerity.
