Rick served as the General Manager of Melton Design Build from 2003 to 2023, bringing his extensive background in business and manufacturing to the role. During his tenure, he was instrumental in coaching the staff, hiring top talent, perfecting the company’s processes, and cultivating a strong sense of teamwork.
One of Rick’s key contributions was his role in creating and developing Melton’s culture of continuous improvement. Working closely with Ty Melton, the two formed a highly effective leadership team, guiding the company to become one of the finest of its kind in the country.
Over the years, Rick worked diligently to make Melton Design Build less dependent on any single individual for its operations. He implemented robust and repeatable processes that strengthened the company and ensured its continued success for many years to come.
As Rick steps back from his role as General Manager, he has remained with the company as an active coach and mentor. This has provided valuable continuity for the new owners, Craig and Graham, as well as the entire leadership team. This transition has allowed Rick to spend more time with his family and pursue other passions, while still ensuring the company’s continued success and longevity.
Rick is excited to hand over the reins to the next generation of leaders and support them in their efforts to build upon Melton Design Build’s legacy of excellence.
