About Rick

Rickey Lee Lamb was born and (mostly) raised in Indiana, growing up in a farm family. He moved to Lincoln, IL for college and remains there to this day. He spent 30 years working in a central Illinois coal mine, eventually completing accelerated Bachelor's and Master's degrees through Benedictine University and Greenville College in Illinois. This led to a second career as a statewide mine safety instructor with Eastern Illinois Colleges. Lamb officially retired in 2021, and now teaches on a (very) part-time basis.

Rickey Lee Lamb is a lifelong music lover. The people he loves the most call him dad and papaw.
