“No matter your age, learning is a lifelong sport.” – Rick Hamrick
Rick Hamrick is an entrepreneurial technologist and real-estate visionary who has spent 25 + years at the nexus of high-tech software, AI-driven process improvement, and value-oriented property investing. From the earliest days of machine-learning capture workflows in 2009 to today’s GPT-powered automations, Rick’s passion is translating advanced technology into real-world ROI.
A career built on high-tech innovation
Rick cut his teeth in sales engineering, designing custom demos that turned complex solutions into board-ready business cases. At Perceptive Software… later Lexmark Enterprise Software and ultimately Hyland… he rose to Senior Manager of Sales, directing global sales and sales engineering teams that carried eight-figure quotas across content services, intelligent data capture, process mining, and robotic process automation. His leadership shaped Hyland’s go-to-market for emerging tech long before “hyperautomation” was a buzzword.
AI & ML trailblazer since 2009
Rick championed machine-learning classifiers for invoice capture and early NLP models for document understanding well before the current AI boom. Today he brings that depth to BizFlow AI, the consultancy he founded to help small and mid-sized businesses deploy conversational AI, voice bots, and end-to-end automated workflows. Clients gain the same enterprise-grade sophistication Rick once delivered to Fortune 500s… without the enterprise price tag.
Real-estate problem solver
Parallel to his tech career, Rick has been an active investor and educator. Through IPA4REI, he mentors agents and investors worldwide on creative pre-foreclosure solutions… short sales, subject-to deals, and lease options… backed by a proprietary AI-enabled CRM. Locally, his firms Kansas City Real Estate Buy and HFM Group LLC revitalize properties while prioritizing ethical outcomes for distressed homeowners.
Experience design & beyond
A stint as Head of Sales at Dimensional Innovations expanded Rick’s toolkit into immersive experience design—proof of his ability to cross industries and still deliver transformative growth.
Education & ethos
Armed with a B.S. in Communication and Mass Media from Missouri State University, Rick pairs analytical rigor with story-driven persuasion. His personal mission… “I lead with integrity and empathy to empower others through continuous learning, efficient systems, and sound guidance”… shows up in every client engagement and coaching call.
Rick lives in Kansas City, where he balances deal flow and AI deployments with family life, mentoring his teenage sons’ lawn-care startup and reminding every team he leads that curiosity is the ultimate competitive edge.
