Who is Rick?

Rick Leach is a 32-year-old medical sales representative from Los Angeles, CA. From his ABC profile, we get to know that Rick is a self-proclaimed hopeless romantic who has been thinking about his future wife for as long as he can remember. Leach finds romanticism in the small things in life and is the type of guy who will send you flowers at work for no reason but to say, "I love you." The sales rep wears his heart on his sleeve because when he is into someone, he wants them to know and doesn't want to play games. He does love a good game night though because he says he can tell a lot about someone's personality when competition is involved. At the end of the day, Rick wants to find his heart's true counterpart and someone who can make the world a better place alongside him. Rick is one of the lucky fellows chosen to get a chance to woo Michelle.
