Richard received his first real estate license just 4 days after it was legal to have one (age 18). He became a broker one year later and was part owner of Care Realty, Inc. He was then called into other fields of endeavor. In 2006, desiring to follow his church on short term missions trip, he gave up a lucrative position at AT&T to again become a REALTOR. He was at another local firm that had about 30+ agents when the real estate crisis of 2007 hit in the fall of the year. He and the original broker where all that was left. Because of superior training both he and the broker closed 27 transactions in April of the following year. The company began to grow even through the crisis. In March of 2019 Richard transferred to Keller Williams Indy Metro South on the Scott Smith team and for a time had a training position on the Leadership Team. He is now focusing on growing the real estate business and recruiting agents to Keller Williams.
