Biography
Growing up in Los Angeles, California, Kevin had his sights set on becoming a mathematician. He dedicated himself to the subject throughout high school and later earned a college degree in applied mathematics. Rather than commit to the lifelong string of tests which career mathematicians face, Kevin decided to join a business team where he could put his data processing skills into action. His Talent Management teams run all of CHG’s “people” aspects, including attracting new talent, training and developing employees, providing benefits, planning celebrations and being there on the bittersweet day when beloved employees retire. Kevin excels at analyzing groups of people and knowing how best to motivate them. Often, this includes Kevin infusing the room with the unique brand of energy that has made him a company legend. Kevin and his wife are the proud parents of two teenage boys. Their eldest son just moved out of the house to start college, meaning the Ricklefs will be empty nesters when their younger son graduates high school in a few short years. This is a radical concept that has left them wondering how they’ll fill their time. For his part, Kevin is considering a graduate degree in mathematics
