About the Guest:
Rick is an American technologist, entrepreneur, educator, and musician with deep passion for problem solving, collaboration, and community. WIth experience in education, business, and the music industry, Rick has successfully navigated 25+ years of stage performance, music production, and teaching.
He is the CEO/CTO of Grove Studios. Grove Studios are self-service 24/7 professionally appointed rehearsal, DJ, and music production studios with automated, distribution-ready recording, and easymobile booking. While clients reserve and pay for studio time with just a few taps from a mobile device, the innovation of the business is tech-enabled and IoT technologies that work together, so that the studios are unstaffed, allow Grove to keep prices accessible for their clients. As a technologist, Rick played a key role in an expansive rollout of Chromebook and iPad 1:1 education initiatives for one of the largest school districts in the midwest. This initiative deployed 18,000 devices and over $18 million in funding, transitioned a staff of over 2,000 to Google GSuite, and instituted a professional learning strategy.
Rick lives with his wife Deanna (a 3rd grade teacher), his daughters Liv and Bella, his '66 Fender Deluxe Reverb Amp, Kalamazoo, Michigan made Heritage H-535 Electric Guitar, and little piles of vintage and boutique effects pedals.
