Mr I (Tricks) Rodriguez

Ivan Rodriguez, known as Mr. Tricks, is the visionary founder of the Heavy Legacy Foundation and the dynamic CEO of Heavy Graphics Marketing. With over 15 years of experience in crafting impactful programs and community events, he attributes much of his success to the encouragement of his good friend and client, Ian Welch, the founder of the Motivational Edge. They share the belief that collaboration is key, with the mantra “Strength in numbers” guiding their efforts to make a difference together.

Reflecting on his journey, Mr. Tricks embraces his roots wholeheartedly, always inspired by the philosophy: “Don’t Dream, Set Goals.” His story began on the streets of Brooklyn, NY, and where later he honed his skills in break dancing and graffiti, making Miami, FL, his beloved home.

Deeply committed to the idea that generosity brings abundant blessings, he takes great pride in leading the Heavy Legacy Foundation. For him, the greatest gift is the act of giving, and he wholeheartedly believes in the power of community.

As he contemplates his legacy, Mr. Tricks shares a powerful personal motto: “When I reach the end of my life, as we know it, and I am standing in front of my creator, I would like to be able to say one thing: I have not one drop of talent left; then I can say, I used everything you gave me.”

Ivan (Tricks) Rodriguez is truly a bright light in the community, dedicated to making a lasting impact through the Heavy Legacy Foundation.
