Soon after, he entered the private sector, working many years in the hardware and software SLED vertical (State Local Education), some of the companies included, Wang Lab, Sun, Oracle, Informatica, Symantec. Rick placed the first computer system used in the Massachusetts Governor's office of then, Governor Michael Dukakis who later ran for President using the "Massachusetts Miracle" which took the state reeling from the collapse of its traditional manufacturing base and turned Massachusetts into a booming high-technology economic model for the rest of the country, paving the way for other state officials in Massachusetts to embrace technology.
