Rick Vugteveen

Sales Manager

Rick’s work as the Sales Manager at ImageX Media focuses on providing solutions to the problems that our clients face. Rick’s main day-to-day duties at ImageX involve interacting with clients, chasing down leads, writing proposals and providing consulting services. As a “true believer” of Drupal’s vision and value, Rick finds himself evangelizing the platform wherever he goes.

Rick has been enthralled with technology and how things works for as long as he can remember. His continuous tinkering landed him a job at a local computer repair shop as a teenager. He has worked with technology ever since. Rick started working with ImageX part-time during his Sociology undergrad at the University of British Columbia. The most rewarding part of working at a small, growing company has been seeing how he can have direct impact on the direction and well-being of a business.
