About Rico

Hello!

I'm Rico, and I love traveling and exploring my surroundings. I’ve always enjoyed cruising, until I

moved to DC. After experiencing the physical and emotional toll from Northern Virginia’s traffic, I decided to do something about it.

In essence, Master Your Commute was born.

My Mission

"To teach struggling commuters how to master their commutes mentally and physically while working within the National Capital Region, aka the NCR."

More About Me

I'm a Mississippi native with over two decades of military service, and I bring the same discipline and strategic thinking from my active Army National Guard career to tackle one of modern life's most universal challenges: the daily commute.

My unique perspective—bridging country roots with the high-stress urban environment of the D.M.V. metro area—offers an authentic and relatable approach to traffic stress management.


I've experiencing firsthand the physical and emotional toll of Northern Virginia's notorious traffic congestion, and I became determined to develop practical solutions for myself and fellow commuters.

My system combines psychological insights with tactical approaches, drawing on both my formal education (B.S. in Human Resource Management) and the real-world resilience developed through military service.


When not helping others master their commuting mindset, I can be found enjoying leisurely joyrides (traffic-free, of course) and applying my analytical skills to futures trading. I lives in Virginia with my wife, two children, one grandson, and two dogs who never complain about my driving!
