The legacy of the Smith family is deeply woven into the fabric of Hillsborough County. It was here that Rico watched the tireless commitment of his grandparents, as they toiled day after day to build a life and create opportunities for the generations to come. His parents, emblematic of hard work and community spirit, passed down these values to Rico. This isn’t just any county to Rico; it’s home, the soil where his family’s dreams germinated and flourished. Second Lieutenant Ronrico K. Smith isn’t just any serviceman. He holds a crucial role as a Finance Officer at the 927th Air Refueling Wing, MacDill AFB.

Before this, as the NCOIC of Biomedical Equipment, he ensured the readiness of 2,800 medical devices, equating to a staggering $19 million in assets. Rico’s commitment to the United States Air Force since 2016 isn’t just about serving his country but is also a testament to his dedication to continuous self-improvement.

Rico’s journey of self-improvement was further bolstered by his academic pursuits. At Trident University International, CA, he earned a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, building upon his Associate of Science degree from CCAF Maxwell AFB and Biomedical Technician training at Fort Sam Houston. These educational accomplishments, along with his leadership training at MacDill AFB, provided a strong foundation for his multifaceted career.
