Rich Weatherby

Business Account Manager
rich.weatherby@corp.socket.net

Read Bio

Rich brings 40 years of telecom experience across operations, project management, engineering, sales, and sales leadership. Throughout his career, he’s learned that the gap between technical capability and customer success isn’t technical – it’s alignment. His philosophy is straightforward: his job is helping customers architect and deploy solutions that deliver technical excellence, enabling them to hit their long-term operational and strategic goals. That means understanding what they’re really trying to solve, not just what they’re buying.
Rich is married to his wife Lisa of 34 years. He’s a father and grandfather who’s passionate about travel – especially following his favorite sports teams, which means stadium visits across the country. He’s also a music enthusiast and someone who genuinely enjoys learning how different industries and businesses operate. That curiosity informs how he works: he listens first, asks better questions second, and builds solutions third.
He’s excited to bring that approach to Socket Fiber, a company that actually prioritizes the customer experience alongside the product. Connect with Rich to discuss how to build network infrastructure that works as hard as your business does.

While I’m new to Socket, I’m not new to the telecommunications industry. I’ve spent more than 20 years helping businesses across Missouri find the right telecom, internet, and fiber solutions to support their goals and keep their operations running smoothly.

What I enjoy most is building lasting relationships with business owners and serving as a trusted resource throughout the process, from the initial quote to installation and ongoing support. I believe great customer service means being available, following through on commitments, and always looking for ways to go the extra mile.

Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to earn the trust of customers, colleagues, and industry partners by advocating for my clients and treating their businesses as if they were my own. There’s nothing more rewarding than helping a customer find the right solution and seeing the positive impact it has on their business.

When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me traveling, exploring new places, and supporting local businesses throughout Central Missouri. I love connecting with people, whether it’s through my work or in the communities I call home.
