Rick Hacker

My name is Richard (“Rick”) Hacker and I grew up at Ross Street United Methodist Church in Lancaster, where I later became the Organist/Choir Director. A family member was in the commercial printing business. So, in addition to my church job, I worked for many years as a Customer Service Representative/Estimator for printers in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New York. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Music Education from Mansfield University and, realizing I was not cut out to be a teacher, went back to printing. For most of my life I have served as an organist and pianist at both United Methodist and Episcopal churches, and am currently the Organist/Choir Director at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Compass. My wife, Nina George-Hacker, is the Rector. We have been married for 32 years, and are the parents of three four-legged furry feline people—Gracie, Abbey, and Holly. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, comedy films, nature walks, and mini-golf.
