Ricks is described as a white male, approximately 5’6" tall, and weighing 180lbs. He has brown/ balding hair and green eyes. He was last seen wearing a long-sleeved shirt and blue jeans, and may have been wearing a bright orange safety vest. The pick-up truck he was driving is a 2013 white Ford F-150, with a truck-bed mounted equipment rack, UTA markings and bearing Utah license plate #206886.
