EPISODE 4: Captain Rick Hoffman

Welcome back to the UNF Leadership Podcast. This week, we’re excited to bring you our first in-person conversation of our summer season and one of our favorite guest lecturers at the University of North Florida: Captain Rick Hoffman.Stationed at Naval Station Mayport, Captain Rick commanded the USS De Wert and USS Hue City. Upon retirement, he founded Orion Solutions, a defense contracting firm, and became even more involved in our Northeast Florida community – including serving on the UNF Student Affairs Community Council since 2013. He also hosts two syndicated TV programs: “Legacy of Leaders” and “From Sea Suite to C-Suite.” While he served in the United States Navy for 28 years, Captain Rick likes to say he’s served his country 51 years – because of his service to the Jacksonville community as a leader and entrepreneur, even beyond the ships he led. This is “Voices of Leadership: Captain Rick Hoffman”
