About Our Guest:

A tenured and credentialed CEO and financial advisor, Richard works with people at or near retirement to help guide them through their exciting next act. With a keen focus on optimizing tax efficiency, Richard is dedicated to helping you navigate decisions around pensions and withdrawing assets during retirement.

Richard’s mission is simple: to help you attain your personal vision of financial success through practical advice, customized planning, and outstanding client service. Rooted in integrity and committed to helping you discover the perfect balance between work, family, and pleasure, Richard serves as your partner on your financial journey.

The Origins of Richard’s Career

At the age of 18, Richard started his first company. He quickly realized he was lacking the guidance and resources needed to succeed. This experience (coupled with watching his parents lose nearly everything when their business suffered) taught him that most people face financial complexities and hardships without truly understanding them. This inspired Richard to embark on a career in financial services to help people make better decisions surrounding money. Simply put, he wants to help you learn how to make it, protect it, and ultimately live a more sustainable and fulfilling life.

Whether you’re in the prime of your career and juggling the demands of a thriving family life or nearing retirement and planning for that next chapter, Richard connects best with people who want to conserve for tomorrow while enjoying life today.

Practical analysis is the cornerstone for Richard and his team at Phronesis Wealth Management. They leverage analytics-backed insights to make informed decisions that drive results. Richard begins by listening to your stories, understanding your aspirations, and gaining clarity about the things that are most important to you and your family. From there, he examines everything from financial priorities, investments, and estate planning goals to tax scenarios, family dynamics within a business, and property and casualty considerations to paint a comprehensive picture of where you stand and how all the above could impact your financial plan.

Your Secret Weapon During Volatile Times

Harnessing the power of the Lifetime Income ModelTM retirement income distribution tool, Richard crafts a personalized strategy to withdraw money from sources such as your 401(k), IRAs, pensions, and other investment accounts, all while navigating the market’s fluctuations. Balancing immediate income needs with the opportunity for other assets to grow, Richard and his team coordinate your dollars over the span of your lifetime. This approach transcends age, prioritizing the longevity of your financial resources and ensuring your money is working for you.

At the Heart of Everything We Do, It’s All About You!
