As an avid hunter and lover of the outdoors, I strongly recommend this book to men, especially young dads. Rick's colorful stories about the outdoors, especially the deer hunting chapters will make you laugh, cry, and is sure to relate to all sportsmen. I loved the humor that encompassed each chapter. It was as if we had shared a lot of the same experiences. I also enjoyed how he turned the chapters into real family life experiences. It's a great read!" - RICHARD KISER, ICGMA Musician of the Decade "Closet Redneck is man's story from boyhood to manhood, his success and failures in the woods, and the things he learned along the way. This is a great source for a guy to answer the question "how am I doing as a man?" Closet Redneck is also a good reference for those guys wondering how do I prepare my kids for life." - Jack Dills, 27-year US Army Veteran, Riverside Church Men's Ministry Director
