Rick Modesitt – President

“I started in the entertainment business like many of you, as a volunteer entertainment chairman for a local festival. I felt the fees being charged by many of the agencies were outrageous. Seeing the need for a hard-working and honest supplier, that could offer quality service with discount prices, I began RMA and have enjoyed working for our fair and festival clients.”

Mr. Modesitt is a former police officer, Chief of Police, Member of the State Legislature and former County Commissioner for Wood County, WV.
