About Rick Culleton
Rick grew up in a small town in Central NY. His formal education ended at age 17 with a trip to State Prison. From there, he headed to Texas.
ADHD and anxiety made life challenging. Staying focused was difficult. Rick washed dishes and waited tables. Soon he learned he wasn't suited to be anyone's employee. So he tried his hand at his own business, and that's where the story starts.
Read the inspiring saga of ADHD to riches in 'Messed Up Like You', a best-selling self-help story.
