Stockton Rush's voice
On the benefits of oceanic exploration Recorded March 2015
Richard Stockton Rush III (March 31, 1962 – June 18, 2023) was an American businessman and engineer, best known as the co-founder and chief executive officer of OceanGate, a deep-sea exploration company.
Following graduation from Princeton University, Rush worked for McDonnell Douglas as a flight test engineer on their F-15 program. He later worked for BlueView Technologies and the Museum of Flight in different capacities.[1] In 2009, he created OceanGate with Guillermo Söhnlein and was the only founder at OceanGate following Söhnlein's departure in 2013.
On June 18, 2023, Rush died along with four others in the Titan submersible implosion during an attempt to visit the wreck of the Titanic in OceanGate's Titan submersible.
