Throughout the years, Enrique has leaned into self-education and the Real Estate coaching communities.
Rooted in Elk Grove and raised in South Sacramento, Enrique is passionate about educating clients. Enrique sees the SAR as a major growth catalyst, crediting the Leadership Academy for opening his eyes to the Association's impact and resources.

Representing District 7, Rick's priorities center on safety, strong neighborhoods, and strengthening families, values he also champions as the longtime CEO of the Center for Fathers and Families.
