Rick and his wife Terri moved to Santa Clara in 1989 and raised their four children in their Lava Flow Drive neighborhood. He graduated from Utah State University in 1984 with a BS degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering and is the founder of Rosenberg Associates, a full-service civil engineering and land surveying firm headquartered in St. George. Rick has been actively involved in public service for over 22 years in Santa Clara, currently serving his eleventh year as Mayor, following five years on the City Council and six years as a Planning Commissioner. He has been recognized for his service and achievements in civil engineering and public works project design throughout Washington County. Rick understands the value and costs associated with providing critical services and infrastructure for residents within the community. His leadership was critical during the community’s recovery following the federally declared Santa Clara River floods in 2005, 2010 and again in 2012 following the Laub Pond Detention Basin failure and flood. A native son of pioneer stock from Southern Utah, he is a strong supporter of the community’s heritage and the annual Swiss Days celebration. Rick and Terri remain heavily involved in community service and are especially proud to call Santa Clara home. He is also an avid fly fisherman and enjoys trips to Alaska, Lake Powell and other destinations with his family and friends whenever time permits.
