Rod Ricciardi is the Managing Director of Find a Dream. He has
helped create an incredible board of directors full of renown athletes that
have pushed Find a Dream’s mission of helping young people have a safe and
supportive environment where they can pursue their dreams.
Ray Mercer is one of these pivotal board members involved with
Find a Dream. Mercer won the Olympic Gold Medal for Heavyweight Boxing in the
1988 Seoul Olympics after compiling 64 wins and only six losses. A former
member of the United States Army, Mercer held the United States Amateur
Championship at Heavyweight.
Another one of the incredible board members that Rod
Ricciardi has assembled is Michael Moorer. Michael Moorer won the World
Heavy Weight Championship three times, and also won the light heavyweight
championship once. Michael Moorer has boxed against some of the greatest boxers
of all time including Evander Holyfield, Francis Botha, David Tua, George
Foreman and Axel Shulz. In 1943, Michael Moorer won a 12-round majority
decision when he boxed against Evander Holyfield. Michael Moorer thus became
the first southpaw boxer to win the World Heavyweight Championship.
Rod Ricciardi understands that having these types of incredible
people there to help is what makes Find a Dream a success. Children are often
in awe of the celebrities that come to play with them, and young aspiring
boxers are quick to ask for professional advice. This star-studded board of
directors is one of the great draws for young people to get involved with Find
a Dream.
