Rick Irvine
Storage Administrator
Rick started his career at Purdue as a Windows NT Systems Administrator for the Engineering Computer Network. Following that, he managed Linux systems for the university enterprise e-mail services. He then joined RCAC as a Systems Administrator for roughly half a dozen years. After that, with several years on Purdue's SAP Basis team, he returned to supporting research as a Storage Administrator for RCAC. This is by far the most rewarding work he has done to date!
