Early life and career

In 1963, Rick's father passed away at the age of 42. Rick was 14, his sister was just 9 months old.

Rick worked for one year at Absorbent Cotton Company in Valley Park as the midnight supervisor. In 1977, he started his career at the United States Department of Defense in St. Louis where he was a budget and project manager with the Army Aviation and Logistics Commands. During that time he was elected 4 times to the Kirkwood School Board. In 2006, he retired early to run for MO State Representative, serving four terms. In 2014, Stream ran for St. Louis County Executive, losing to Steve Stenger by 6/10% (1800 votes). He worked two years as the Executive Director of Hope Unlimited, a Christian ministry which works with children in Meacham Park. He began his current job at the Election Board in January 2017. In 2018, Stream received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Kirkwood/Des Peres Chamber of Commerce. In 2019, he was inducted into the Kirkwood High School Alumni Hall of Fame for his 50+ years of volunteer service to the school district and the community.
