Rick Rodriguez

For over 15 years, Rick has been a leader in the Data Center and Infrastructure space (he calls himself an x86 Architecture evangelist). Shortly after the military he started at the bottom, racking and stacking servers in Data Center teams at Match.com. Rick was later promoted and led those teams for 5 years. He coordinated global server deployments at AIG for six years. Rick holds a degree from the University of Miami and resides in the Dallas area.

​

He is a first-generation American with a love for the country that welcomed his parents. Growing up in Southern California and receiving higher education in South Florida, a genuine curiosity for the world, its peoples, and history were ingrained in Rick early on. Every new venture is well summed up with a quote from childhood. "Second star to the right, and straight on till morning," Peter Pan.
