Rick Bingham

Resilient Rick Bingham

One man's life adventures, trials, and successes. An Arabian horse breeder, multiengine pilot, steel worker, business owner of a roofing company, marathoner, triathlete, champion racquetball player, and swimming coach. He is an inspiration to young and old alike. He qualified on a diesel submarine, the USS 580 Barbell. He was on the first nuclear submarine, the USSN 571 Nautilus. He participated in the longest horse race in History as depicted in the book The Great American Horse Race by Curt Lewis. It started in Herkimer County, New York and finished in Sacramento, California, 2,180 miles through thirteen states and across the Mississippi River. As his wife says, "He really did everything he said he did. They broke the mold when Rick Bingham was born."
