Mr. Riddick

When Mr. Riddick was a child, his maternal grandmother read him history books instead of children’s stories. From a young age, lessons from history informed his path in life. Fortunately for high school students in Albemarle County, Mr. Riddick’s chosen path in life has been sharing his knowledge of history and lacrosse with young people. For the past four decades, “Rids” has inspired students and athletes alike “to be kind, leave a footprint, show that you were here and that you made a difference in someone’s life.”

Watch now to find out how he does this at the Miller School of Albemarle.

He doesn’t hesitate during class. He’s full of energy—so informative the way he speaks to us. Whenever you say something good, he says ‘yes, that’s it.’
