Rick Ingersoll

Rick Ingersoll is a long term travel hacker, manufactured spender and all around frugal kinda guy ;) In his past life, he owned a mortgage banking firm specializing in helping first-time homebuyers. He helped the local Veterans office with the Vet's credit questions and taught "Credit and Collections" at his local community college. In his second career, he founded the Frugal Travel Guy blog in 2007 which he sold to Internet Brands in 2012. He was also instrumental in starting the Chicago Seminars, which brings together experts in the frequent flyer community to address an annual crowd of more than 500 participants. At one of those seminars he was featured in an ABC Nightline program that brought the idea of travel hacking to the masses. The segment was so popular it was rebroadcast two additional times.
