CHAPTER VICE CHAIR -
Rick Kinnard
TechExecs Oklahoma
Chapter Vice Chair
Rick started early creating his own version of
dithering in 1980 to create thousands of colors on
an Apple II which was “limited” to only 8 colors 5
years before it came to regular use in software. He
also used spare time to write a program to do his
trigonometry homework raising the ire of his math
teacher and getting extra credit in both classes.
He was president of three of his 5 Junior
Achievement companies and ran 5 Boy Scouts Explorer
posts before being elected to serve as the Bay Lakes
Council Chairman overseeing the scouting programs in
over 200 communities at the age of 19 years old. His
early career allowed him the pleasure of working
with American Airlines, ATT, Sprint, US Postal
Service, several Republican Party campaigns, various
religious organizations and Non-Profits such as
Special Olympics. He rewrote the scripts to increase
sales for the “Accidental Death and Dismemberment
Insurance” phone calls you received from your credit
card providers in the 1990s. At one point he was
running calling programs for 9 different companies
including several insurance companies, US Postal
Service and the Nielson Rating surveys. He took the
risk of buying his employer and re-launching as
Trans-Tech Services Inc. To dedicate more time to
the business he quit college, lucky enough to have
several programming languages and a full complement
of systems analysis and design knowledge. He
transformed the internal processes – from sales to
shipping, mirrored a Xenix system to Windows and
created a CRM program from scratch. He developed
“Collision Vision”; a computerized automotive repair
estimating system. He developed marketing, sourcing,
production, and even wrote the lease contracts for
the lease program. Within 3 years had built up
17,000 business customers nationwide selling
software and systems, auto polish, plastics, and
other specialty items. In 1995 he turned 31 and
finished 8 years with the United States Navy
Reserves. In 1998 he started a web design
consultancy to assist the development of UBID.com a
hopeful startup in the web auction race. Since 2000
he has provided his telecommunications expertise
through Time Warner, Cypress, Birch Telecom, Centric
Voice, and XO Communications. He has helped hundreds
of businesses position their telecommunications
resources for efficient and profitable results. He
is proud to have helped Dallas Food Bank and
Make-a-Wish Foundation as part of his many
successful strategies to increase productivity and
profitability. Rick is currently the Chapter Vice
Chair of the Dallas Fort Worth branch of TechExecs
CIO Network and Forums. He is an avid attendee of
several local chambers of commerce and a member of
the International Association of Certified Microsoft
Partners. He enjoys networking and has built a
personal network of several hundred business
contacts. Rick has three boys, two are Life scouts
and one is a Bear Cub scout. They enjoy weekend
adventures throughout Texas. |
