He has worked in Salt Lake City, Utah , Denver, Colorado , and Chicago, Illinois radio markets. He is a former studio host for the Utah Jazz of the NBA and was the play by play voice of the Utah Starzz of the WNBA. Richard Deitsch of SI.com praised Rickard s work with ESPN Radio when he named him the 2006 Sports Illustrated Radio Personality of the Year by saying, cquote There are bigger and more famous hosts on ESPN Radio, but like Fowler and Brown, Rickard stands out for his understated professionalism. He s a sports talk host who opts for a reasoned and mannered approach to topics. No screaming. No shtick. No declaring to his audience why he s the smartest guy in the room. Every time I heard him in 2006 and I heard him with about seven different partners he never failed to provide well thought out opinions. When his bosses catch on, he ll probably get fired. Rickard returned to ESPN Radio in November, 2008 as a Fill In host. He graduated from Mesa State College where he played football.
