Hector Rodriguez grew up in a family of migrant workers who settled in Rapid City, South Dakota. Life was defined by long days, hard labor, and expectations that didn’t leave much room for dreaming. Hector wanted more — not out of rebellion, but out of curiosity. He needed to know what existed beyond the fields and the limits placed on him.

​

The military gave him a way out. Structure, discipline, and purpose suited him, and he proved himself capable under pressure. He wasn’t chasing medals or glory — he was chasing forward motion. Over time, his skills and adaptability earned him a place on Delta Team, where precision mattered more than bravado and mistakes carried real consequences.

​

Still, even elite service came with walls. Hector began to feel boxed in by orders and politics, by missions that no longer made sense to him. When J. J. “Mac” McPherson reached out with an offer to work outside the system, Hector didn’t hesitate. It wasn’t about money or power — it was about freedom.

​

Now working with advanced technology for a powerful corporation, Hector applies his training in new ways, pushing limits and solving problems most people never see. He’s pragmatic, observant, and quietly ambitious — a man who keeps moving not because he’s chasing greatness, but because standing still has never felt safe.
