Rick Kaepernick is a cheese executive. To be more specific, he's the Vice President of Operations for Hilmar Cheese Company, based out of Hilmar, California. Prior to working at Hilmar, he worked in the dairy industry in Milwaukee, making him and Colin Green Bay Packers fans — aka Cheeseheads — until they had a reason to be otherwise, that reason being the 49ers drafting Colin in 2011.

This is Colin's enormous tortoise, Sammy. How do we know that Colin has an enormous tortoise named Sammy? Because of Rick.
