Anyone who knows Rick Ostrowski knows he loves three things: his family, Lakeshore, and classic cars—in that order! We can honestly say our ‘numbers guy’ eats, sleeps and breathes this business, and he knows it inside and out!

Rick started out as a police officer, but learned early there’s no business like show business! While working two jobs—walking the beat and estimating projects and running the shop at McCormick Exhibits—Rick acquired a lifelong passion, invaluable experience, and two cofounding partners that laid a solid foundation for Lakeshore Exhibit Services, Inc.

Although it began as a thriving installation and dismantle company, Lakeshore’s clients quickly recognized strengths and talents beyond I&D, particularly a unique and unprecedented service standard. Before Rick knew it, Lakeshore grew to become a full-service design & display house.

Rick proudly boasts over 40 years experience doing what he loves and having a whole lot of fun doing it. He still leads construction projects as the ‘master of the shop’ and contributes to every design with the practiced eye and creative instincts of a designer.

Clients and team members alike will tell you Rick does his job better than anyone else in the industry! He’s both a sharp, skilled businessman and a generous, genuine guy. He calls more people his friends than anyone you’ll ever meet, and he means it!
