As a man that is very interested with helping his community, Rick Rogge is heavily involved in several committees and boards in Carolina Beach. Despite being a very busy and successful realtor, he is also involved in the Harbor Commission, Freeman Park Committee, and the Hurricane Response and Board of adjustments. Rick also serves as the vice President of the Island Cottage, a local food bank in Carolina Beach, and is a member of the Pleasure Island Parrot heads.

I'll start with the Pleasure Island Parrot Heads, because I'm sure many of you are wondering what the hell that is. They are actually a nonprofit organization that holds beach clean up projects and hosts local events to raise money for said operations. They are also heavily influenced by the incredible music of Jimmy Buffett, and like to have a good time whist they are keeping their beach and community clean.

The Harbor Commission is a newer organization in Carolina Beach which began about 7 years ago. Their goal is to create a community environment which is more conducive to boaters and of course, their boats. This includes testing water quality and safety levels, maintaining municipals mooring marinas, and creating recreational activities for boaters and their families to enjoy.

The Island Cottage in Carolina Beach is a smaller food bank which is dedicated to serving all those in the area and providing them with a safe place to obtain food and gives back to it's community. As I mentioned earlier, Rick has been a realtor for most of his life and maintains an excellent rating. He fully embodies the four criteria we set fourth. Since he works on commission, it would be easy for Rick to potentially see his customers as possible profit, instead of people that need help. Rick has helped people find the homes that they need, and not ones that they cannot afford. Rick has maintained a professional integrity and continues to help his community in both his professional life, and outside of it in his many different roles on the various boards of Carolina Beach.
