Meet Ricky & Jayden from Orange County, NY

Orange County sits just 50 miles above the tip of Manhattan. The Hudson River cuts a crescent around Orange County providing its gorgeous views. It is home to some of New York’s great attractions such as: United States Military Academy at West Point, LEGOLAND® New York Resort, Storm King Art Center, Woodbury Common Premium Outlets, and Angry Orchard Tasting and Innovation Center. Ricky was born on Fort Sam Huston Military Base and was primarily raised in New York. He proudly served in the Army, went to school for criminal justice at Berkeley College, and is currently working in law enforcement. He is a father to three beautiful children; two of which are 20 years older than Jayden. Every summer, they make a bucket list and enjoy some fun! Jayden picked Howe to visit today. Ricky said that Jayden is the best adventure buddy ever! When asked what inspires Ricky, he immediately said, “My family. They inspire me. Also, having happy healthy relationships with the people in my life. It’s small things that matter. Every day you wake up, be grateful.” Thank you so much for visiting!

P.S. on a side note, we thank you, Ricky, for your service- to our country & to your community
