Rick Hughes

As Rick studied the Bible, he learned Christian principles that have helped him to make good decisions from positions of strength and to gain self-respect. When he decided to return to college, he attended Southeastern Bible College in Birmingham for two years.

Today Rick works as an independent speaker and travels to high schools across the southeastern United States giving his Student Emphasis Week presentations

For more than 40 years Rick has been telling students that because of arrogance and lack of self-discipline, he lost his college scholarship. Rick has conducted more than 5,000 assemblies at schools that have invited him to visit and give his message.

Rick also excelled in football, being recognized as a Prep All American. He was awarded a four-year scholarship with the University of Alabama under Coach Bear Bryant.

In 1967 Rick married Lydia Lucas of Baton Rouge, LA. They have four children and reside in Cropwell, AL. They live on beautiful Logan Martin Lake where bass fishing is a favorite pastime.
