About Don Ricks

My objective is to drive new business. Cold Creek has partnered with solutions providers and customers that range in size from mid-size to large enterprise in size. Clients choose Cold Creek because we have decades of individual experience working with both the manufacturers and our customers. We are extremely agile and rarely have I ever worked with a team that has Cold Creek's passion for providing skilled expertise in regard to both enterprise and leading edge technology. One more thing. We do not have the skewed thought that the manufacturer (or Cold Creek) is doing you a favor by purchasing from us. It is our belief that with you as our partner it is our privilege and commitment to provide the best solution to meet, or exceed your criteria and workflow needs. You are our partners and the only reason why we exist. Previous to my career in IT I started out in the music business and was considered one of the top drummers in Denver and studied music under the tutelage and was a protégé of Tim Phanenstiel with the Denver Symphony (dating myself!!!) .Thank you - Don Ricks

I still have a great deal of fondness, love, and respect for these people and while I was there I added many millions of dollars onto the company’s bottom line, and also in a team effort helped the sales people that I worked with hit their goals.

    R Squared, Inc./Vangard Technologies, Inc. Jul 1988 - Jun 1994
    This was dawning of the 3.5" hard disk technology and open system computing. Long live the VAX!!! Shortly there after was what became one of the hottest computer items I've ever been involved with. It created an incredible stir. That's right, everybody was flipping out about a new technology called unattended tape backup from a company by the name of Exabyte. I was part of an inside sales team that was responsible for covering territories not covered by the outside sales team. I was an account representative and worked closely with those accounts in my territory such as Borders Book Stores, Fermi National Laboratory, Argonne National Labs, Harris Corporation, GE Aerospace (now Lockheed Martin), and EDS to mention just a few with successfully promoting those products and increasing sales.
  • Data Maintenance Solutions

    This was fun back in the day of the 8" disk drive dinosaur was coming to an end and the advent of the latest and greatest technology was coming into existence with the advent of the Seagate ST-225 MFM 5.25" 21.4 GB full height disk drive, and the floppy disk. Those were the days!!! I worked with a great team of people promoting our products and managing some really good people.
