Rick Zolzer - VP, Game Day Promotions & Programming

Rick Zolzer, also known as "Zolz", began his career 28 years ago with the Renegades as the team's part time PA announcer at Dutchess Stadium and immediately made an impression with his natural ability to get the crowd involved in the action.

Rick took on responsibilities as the Director of Special Events for the Renegades in 2001 full time, as well as becoming the executive director for the Renegades Pitch for Kids. Pitch For Kids is meant to bring together the families of the Hudson Valley through a variety of entertaining events and fundraisers that are run by Rick and his staff. Rick has made quite a name for himself in the Hudson Valley region as a public address announcer and crowd entertainer. His charismatic approach behind the microphone paved the way for future job opportunities.

In 2002, Rick started calling games from center court at the Continental Airlines Arena as the PA announcer for the New Jersey Nets. During his three-year stint with the Nets, the team won back-to-back Eastern Conference titles in 2002 and 2003 while going to the NBA Finals, as well as making it to the Eastern Conference Finals in 2004.

The Army Athletic Association hired him to be the PA announcer for the Army football team for the start of their 2007 season and was with them for 7 years. Zolzer has carved out the time to create his own entertainment company called Zolz Entertainment hosting weddings, parties, corporate gatherings, etc. for over 30 years

Not only can you hear Rick's voice echoing through PA systems, you may have also heard him locally on WPDH, WRWD or Z-93 doing sports since 1990 offering his insight on anything and everything in the world of sports with his special way of looking at things.

Prior to the 2014 season Zolzer was promoted to Vice President for the Gades. while recognizing the magnitude and responsibility of the new position Zolzer said, "Being named Vice President of the Renegades organization is a ridiculous honor. I have had no off switch for the 'Gades and enjoyed being a part of the team 24/7 over the past 20 years. I am thankful for this opportunity as I look toward the next 20 years.”

Zolz is absurdly proud of his two beautiful daughters Taylor and Jordan and looks forward to any time he can spend with them, and they are the best thing he has ever done in his life.
