About Me

Rick Kilby: Rick Kilby grew up in Gainesville, Florida, looking for shark’s teeth in creeks, swimming in springs, and wading in swamps. After graduating with a degree in graphic design from the University of Florida, Kilby worked as an art director for a Central Florida attraction and a golf company before launching his own graphic design business in 2000. Committed to spreading the gospel about preserving the natural and historic resources of Florida, his mission is to motivate other Floridians to appreciate the wonders of their state. Author of "Finding the Fountain of Youth" published in 2013 and "Florida's Healing Waters" published in 2020. https://www.rickkilby.com/shop
