He and his wife Mary, share three amazing “two-legged” children; Yostina, his oldest daughter and his two sons Mark and Mathew. They are also the proud parents of two “four-legged” children; Nemo the Maine Coon Cat and Daisy the West Highland Terrier.

He plans to continue this passion in Frederick County.

When he is not working, Ricky enjoys spending time with his family and his big church community, which is located near Frederick. While his family began to search for their forever home closer to Frederick area church, he fell in love with Frederick Veterinary Center after getting to know Dr. Flynn.
