About me
With over four decades in the mortgage industry, Richard has built his career on resilience, education, and relationships. A passionate teacher and community leader, he's written CE course materials, led countless workshops, and helped real estate agents and homebuyers alike gain the knowledge they need to succeed.
Known for his lively teaching style, quick wit, and ability to make complex topics simple, Richard turns mortgages into moments of confidence and connection. From first-time buyers to seniors exploring reverse mortgages, he thrives on empowering clients to make informed decisions with clarity and peace of mind.
Beyond the business, Richard brings the same enthusiasm to life that he brings to lending - whether he's captaining a boat in the Caribbean, cheering on LSU, hosting a crawfish boil, or spending time with his eight grandkids. For Richard, life (and lending) is all about building relationships, spreading joy, and helping families feel at home.
