In 2009, Mobile Bay Monthly included him on its inaugural list of “Mobile’s Top 40 Under 40,” a distinction that recognizes the 40 outstanding community leaders under the age of 40 who demonstrate excellence in their individual disciplines. Ricardo was appointed by Chief Judge Callie V.S. Granade of the United States District Court to a Merit Selection Committee to recommend candidates for a federal magistrate position for the Southern District of Alabama.
