Ricky Rodriguez
San Francisco Staff Writer
Ricky is a Chicago(land) native and the newest Staff Writer at The Infatuation SF. He first moved to the Bay for college at Stanford—fancy, we know. After swearing that he “would never move back” while freezing during a Chicago winter, his cold tolerance has now plummeted and he freezes every night in the Bay. His sister told him that he speaks like a Gen-Z Californian and now he asks everyone he meets if they can guess where he’s from. Most don’t. Other passions include laying in the park on the weekends and calling it “outdoorsy,” saying he’s gonna start DJing any minute, and doing a terrible job avoiding being recognized by his hair at any restaurants he visits.
