Rick Devericks is a medically retired 20-year Special Operations Green Beret Army Veteran from

Brunswick, Ohio. Rick's military service to our nation has taken him through 10 combat

deployments in six different countries. Rick now lives in North Carolina near Fort Bragg with his family. He is passionate about his family and God, but also about veterans, archery, hunting, and the outdoors.

Rick started shooting archery at the age of 15 and soon thereafter found himself enthusiastic about the sport. He quickly began competing at a national level. He placed first in the National Field Archery Association's tournament, and he placed in the finals in both the International

Bowhunting Organization's Indoor World and the Archery Shooters Association's national

tournaments. Rick also competed at a state and local level and won several championships.

Archery eventually had to take a back seat to the military, but as Rick reached retirement, he

eagerly jumped back into the sport, once again, competing and placing in several local

competitions. Rick later completed in the 2017 Department of Defense's Warrior Games in

2017, taking home two silver medals. He later took a Gold Medal in Archery at the 2021 Invictus Games.

Hoping to support other veterans, wounded warriors, and share his love for archery, Rick

started coaching the Warrior Games SOCOM archery team in 2019. Today Rick continues to shoot archery and compete as often as possible, but his primary focus is on coaching and helping others enjoy and appreciate archery.
