RCC is excited to welcome Jeff Bickham to the Procurement team. Raised in a military family, Jeff moved frequently during childhood but spent most summers in Grants Pass, which he proudly now calls home. With over a decade of experience in procurement, logistics and supply chain solutions, Jeff brings a wealth of expertise across industries including telecommunications, retail and manufacturing.
His career has included key roles at Ryder Logistics, Hunter Communications and, most recently, at Dutch Bros Coffee headquarters. At Dutch Bros, he supported IT sourcing, vendor management and large-scale technology initiatives such as the construction of the newly opened roasting facility near Dallas, Texas.
Known for being process-driven and inquisitive, Jeff thrives behind the scenes, helping teams operate efficiently and effectively. “I’ve always enjoyed being part of the team that keeps things running smoothly,” he shares. He’s passionate about implementing systems that simplify workflows and asking the right questions to ensure clarity and collaboration. At RCC, he sees procurement as a vital support function to enable students, staff and the broader community while providing the resources they need to succeed.
Outside of work, Jeff enjoys spending time with his wife Bethany, a hospice nurse with Asante, and their three children (ages 8, 6 and 3 months). The family loves riding bikes in the park, exploring the Oregon Coast, and traveling to California for family fun. When time allows, Jeff is usually diving into the latest tech trends, a personal passion that continues to inspire him. “Technology has always fascinated me—it’s something I’ve followed closely for years,” he said.
Joining RCC holds special meaning for Jeff as a former student. “Being part of RCC now, in a role where I can support student success, feels like a perfect fit,” he said. Having lived in Southern Oregon long enough to witness RCC’s impact firsthand, he’s thrilled to now contribute to its mission and community growth.
