From 2013 to 2014, Rick served as the officer in charge of the Marine Corps Wounded Warrior Detachment at Twentynine Palms. This role gave him a front row seat to the moral and spiritual breakdown that our military service members have endured as a result of extended exposure to combat and combat support operations, and is the spark that ignited Soul Survivor Outdoor.

Most who know him would use the word tenacious to describe Rick’s determination in accomplishing whatever is put in front of him, whether it’s the successful launch and growth of SSO or convincing Kim, his wife of 37 years, that getting his A license in skydiving is a good idea. Rick and Kim live in Carlsbad, California, have three sons and one grandson, and are grateful to be reaching our nation’s warriors with the life-changing message of hope in Jesus Christ.

Randy García served 21 years as a U.S. Marine and 17 years in Department of Defense information technology leadership before joining SSO as a full-time volunteer in 2023.

His hobbies include all things “outdoor Colorado” from snowboarding, mountain biking, hiking and hunting.
