  - DFW 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.
