A.V.A.T.A.R: Live The Life You Were Meant To Live (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781984265340)

Born and raised in NJ to immigrant parents from Cuba, Rick grew up in a loving Christian home. Like many teenagers, he rebelled early in life and experienced many dark days. He grew up in what most Americans consider the ghetto. He has always been motivated by a print that hung on the wall of his fifth-grade classroom. It showed a man walking on the moon with a caption that read, "If you can dream it, you can achieve it." He later learned that the quote came from Zig Ziglar. The full quote goes like this: "If you can dream it, then you can achieve it. You will get all you want in life if you just help enough other people get what they want."
