Dr. Rico Short was born in Columbus Georgia on June 29, 1974. He was reared from a single family household by a mother who worked 33 years on the floor in a textile mill. Growing up as a child, Dr. Short said he did not have a lot of "things" but he had a lot of love, prayer, and support from his family. Dr. Short said his mother had to "drag" him to church because he really did not see the importance as a teenager. However, now as an adult, his Christian foundation has become the bedrock for all of his success.
Dr. Short is married to Angela Short who is a dental hygienist by profession. They have two children: Jayla and Ava. Dr. Short attributes his accomplishments to an understanding and loving wife and kids but most of all to his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
