“During high school and college, I knew I wanted to spend my career working for a mid-sized company that had solid values, a great reputation, stability, and was extremely successful while maintaining their position at the forefront of their industry. Langdale met all those requirements. But the thing I did not anticipate all those years ago was the great degree of pride and loyalty I would place in my chosen company. The pride comes from the knowledge that I personally helped Langdale grow and succeed and from the respect of fellow employees and others in our industry. The loyalty comes from personal contact with the owners of the company, owners who have always made me feel that I am important to them and an integral part of day-to-day and long range operations of the company.”
Rick and his wife, Vickie, reside in Thomasville.
