Meet Rock Ingram, MMNSF Board of Directors
Rockell “Rock” Ingram is a proud Mississippi native who grew up in Shaw, a small town in the heart of the Delta known for its spirit of “Striving Hard and Working.”
During his junior year of high school at Shaw High, Rock joined the Army National Guard to help pay for college, ultimately serving 12 years. Before earning his degree in Electrical Engineering from Mississippi State University, he served a year in Iraq for Operation Iraqi Freedom.
He later earned his MBA from Millsaps College, further strengthening his expertise and commitment to professional growth.
Rock’s career has taken him across the Southeast, and he currently serves as a Senior Regulatory Analyst at Entergy Mississippi.
He has been a dedicated board member of the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science Foundation since 2024. The Museum holds a special place in his heart, serving as a meaningful space where he and his son, Christian, continue to make memories and volunteer together. As his son has grown and developed a deeper appreciation for STEM, their time at the Museum has become even more rewarding. One of Rock’s favorite activities is operating the Museum’s resident mechanical dinosaur during special events.
In addition to his work with the Museum, Rock is currently serving as an Associate Board member for Statewide Federal Credit Union, a role he began in March 2025. He also serves as the current President of the Mississippi Chapter of the American Association of Blacks in Energy, where he is committed to advancing diversity and leadership in the energy sector.
His commitment to service extends throughout the community: you’ll find him volunteering at his church, serving meals at GateWay Rescue Mission of Jackson, and preparing taxes for the IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program during tax season.
Whether he’s inspiring curiosity in young visitors, supporting his community’s most vulnerable, or helping families with their finances, Rock is passionate about giving back and making a positive impact.
