Rick Allen grew up in the shadows of the beautiful Smoky Mountains in East Tennessee. A former college football player, Rick started his career in home improvement almost 20 years ago. He has a General Contractor's License, a Real Estate License, and an Insurance License.

Host of Rick’s House, Rick also shares his know-how on Knoxville's NBC Style show, and has shared his home improvement knowledge on Panama City’s Fox 28 with Weekly Home Tips, as a contributing writer for Knoxville Garden and Home Magazine, and as a writer for The Fountain City Focus, and Panama City Christian Living.

Before Rick created Rick’s House Radio Show, he worked as a co-host on Kat Kountry 103.5 FM’s Butch and the Backseat Driver's morning show in Panama City, Florida.

When he isn’t talking about home improvement, Rick enjoys life with his lovely wife Amy and their four wonderful children.
