Staying Connected: Rick Detrio Keeps His Family First

Rick Detrio is a busy man. Working for Morgan and Morgan, one of the most sizeable and all-encompassing law firms in the Tampa Bay area, makes a lot of demands on his time. Often, he has strange hours, or finds himself working on holidays he thought he had off. This type of hectic schedule is not new to him. Actually, it is a lifestyle he has grown used to ever since his job with the DEA started in 1988. During his fourteen years there, he had assignments in five different major cities across the country, not to mention overseas missions.

 

Having to travel so often and keep irregular hours can be hard on an individual who values his family as much as Rick Detrio does. As the years have gone by, he has become an expert at still managing to keep his family a priority, no matter what work throws at him. Even during those times when work demands he miss a holiday or other important date, Rick Detrio finds a way to make it up to his family.

One of the ways Rick Detrio keeps his family a priority is by devoting all of his attention to them when they are spending time together. He has often been frustrated by co-workers who insist on bringing their work home with them; for Rick Detrio, being at home or with family means the work phone stays away. This is especially true for vacation times. Whether it is just a weekend away or his annual family reunion, Rick Detrio makes sure that during those times, family is the only concern he has.
