Somehow, Rik knew he wanted to be a radio announcer from an early age.  So after graduation in 1978, Rik joined the U.S. Air Force to be a Radio and TV announcer for Armed Forces Radio and TV Service (AFRTS). After 20 years, he retired from the Air Force in 1998.  He retired on a Friday in August then two days later, started a new job as a host and producer for the All Star Radio Network.  During his 19 years there,  Rik hosted  several nationally syndicated radio shows, including: "Back in the Pits with Rik Anthony" and "Someone You Should Know."  Rik has thousands of celebrity interviews in his archives. 

Rik retired from daily on-air radio on 1/1/23 and is focusing on his podcast and enjoying life.  Rik has two grown children, Shauna and Brad.
