Quick Bio – Rutledge Daugette
Rutledge Daugette is a business owner, IT Professional, and mental health advocate who founded the site TechRaptor in 2013 to build a place he would want to work.
During the day, he works full time in the IT Services industry as a Leader of Account Management (Indianapolis, Denver), focused on driving our clients’ businesses forward using technology.
At night he focuses on his business TechRaptor, working to grow a sustainable media outlet that has a positive and low-stress environment to work in. He takes $0 from this effort, putting every dollar back into the site and people who make it what it is.
When I’m not deep into SEO spreadsheets, figuring out what the next big game is, or figuring out how I can make TechRaptor bigger and better for my team – you’ll find me thinking about being in the mountains.
I have a deep love for the National Parks, especially Grand Teton National Park, one of my wife and I’s favorite places to be and explore. There’s nothing we’d love to do more than hit the road and travel to different parks to camp outside and spend time outdoors hiking.
Personal Life: I’m happily married for 8 years, and while I don’t have kids, our Pitbull keeps me occupied with her constant need for snacks!
On Mental Health: I’m a firm believer that your mental health is important, coming from a deeply personal place, which is why I’m vocal about it being OK to share your feelings, and why TechRaptor supporting SafeInOurWorld is important to me.
On Games Media: I plan to talk about this a lot on my blog on this site, with a deep focus on taking care of your team, improving pay, and building a sustainable site.
On Business Technology: I believe that investing your business’ Cybersecurity is critical. If you’re a business owner who’s not sure what to do next, maybe I can help.
