Of The Treasure Coast Florida

Rick Ankiel

Rick Ankiel is passionate about the community he calls home. Born in Ft. Pierce, this former Port St. Lucie High School superstar has one of the best baseball stories in the game’s history. Drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals right out of high school, he pitched his first full major league season in 2000 at the age of 20 (second youngest in the league), posting an 11–7 record, an impressive 3.50 ERA (tenth in the league), and 194 strikeouts (seventh in the league). His dominance earned him The Sporting News Rookie Player of the Year Award, and he finished second in voting for the NL Rookie of the Year.

After a successful 2000 regular season in which he set a Cardinals record for strikeouts, the postseason took a turn for the worst when he experienced the yips, a condition that takes away control from a player with no known cause. He asked to be sent to the minors to tweak his mechanics, then had Tommy John surgery before battling his way back to the mound for the Cardinals in 2004.

One year later, he switched positions and became an outfielder, one of only 12 players in MLB History to have debuted as a pitcher and then switched to be a position player. Rick was known for his defense in the field, and as HOF Atlanta Braves Manager Bobby Cox said, “He had the best arm he had ever seen in 50 years in baseball.” Rick joins Babe Ruth as one of only two players in MLB history to have pitched 20 innings and hit 25 home runs in a season. He and the Babe are also the only players to start a postseason game as a pitcher and hit a home run as a position player in the postseason.

Rick suited up for the Cardinals, Royals, Braves, Nationals, Astros, and Mets before retiring in 2013. He stays close to the game he loves. In addition to helping players with anxiety and the yips, he works as an on-air host for the Cardinals games on FOX Sports Midwest. He is also the co-owner of All Dry of the Treasure Coast, a water and mold remediation company. When not working or volunteering in the community, you can find him spending time with his wife Lory or coaching his son’s baseball games.

Jim McDavid

Passion, it’s what Jim McDavid brings to everything he is involved in. Management is doing things right, leadership is doing the right things, and as Co-Owner of All Dry of the Treasure Coast, Jim lives that philosophy daily.

His core beliefs center on client satisfaction, follow-through, and service.
These skills he learned early on in his career after serving in the Navy and beginning his 30-year career in the automotive industry, where he has broad expertise in sales, service, F&I, and dealer operations. His McDavid Group has a proven track record of successfully helping dealerships around the country create customer loyalty, enhance company culture and boost their bottom line.

Jim’s other passion is people. He likes to find the best in others and help them learn, grow, and thrive. It’s one of the reasons he created The McDavid Group charities. One of their key initiatives is Golf for COPS, a non-profit whose mission is to support the families of fallen law enforcement officials. It was a charity born out of compassion after five police officers were brutally executed in Dallas, Texas. The news hit Jim like a ton of bricks, and it was then that he decided to throw his time and resources behind our men and women in blue.

An avid golfer, fisherman, and family man. Jim and his team are thankful that you’ve chosen All Dry and assure you that your job will be done right the first time.
