CEO of R1 Training Center

R1 Training Center is under new management. The acting boss is somewhat elusive. Many just call her the "Grey Ghost". She streaks across the main floor when she feels like it. Rumor has it that she prefers to be addressed as "Dr."

Every day the Dr. says a little prayer that Michael Vick might be strolling through her neighborhood in El Segundo. He might be out of the headlines, but he's still in her heart.

In the midst of all his other endeavors Rico also spent years jaunting between Paris and New York as a successful fashion model.
