About this title

About the Author

Rick E. Meyer earned a Masters of Art in Christian Leadership from Dallas Theological Seminary in Dallas, TX and a Bachelor of Science in Agronomy from Kansas State University. Rick grew up on a farm near Gaylord, KS. Despite never running more than a half mile and always being among the last chosen for playground teams, he set five major goals at the age of eight.

Rick moved to the "Little Apple," Manhattan, KS, after his sophomore year at Smith Center High School. At Manhattan High School, Rick was co-captain of the 1984 cross-country team that was alphabetized among the best in America by The Harrier. He later placed 47th in the Boston Marathon and 86th at New York.

Rick has run over 129,000 lifetime miles in temperatures ranging from 118F to a 13-miler at 35F below zero with wind-chill at minus 70F. Additionally, he assisted in coaching high school state champions and state record holders. Rick also assisted Lyle Claussen's University Nebraska at Kearney cross country teams that placed 8th, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 7th in NCAA Div. II between 1990 and 1995.

Rick continues running and training for races from the 5K up to the marathon. He says that he would run faster times if he finished the races sooner.

Rick Meyer thoroughly enjoys working with and sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ and success principles with people of all ages, including young adults. For example, he has spoken to groups ranging from kindergartners to those in their 90s; men's groups to mother-daughter banquets.

Additionally, Rick served on the national board of Beta Sigma Psi fraternity for five years, including two years as national president.

Award-Winning Keynote Speaker, Certified Trainer, Founder and President of Running on Faith Ministry, Inc. and Running on Faith Church. Rick E. Meyer illustrates biblical truth and love as the foundation of enduring success in business, academics, athletics, and all relationships.
