Born in Langley and raised in the Okanagan, Richard built his career in precision, problem-solving, and high-stakes decision-making long before stepping into real estate. As an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer specializing in helicopters, he worked across Western Canada, from freezing northern tundras to wildfire zones, mastering the art of handling complex challenges under pressure.

Richard’s sharp attention to detail, strategic thinking, and relentless work ethic made him a leader in his field—skills that now define his approach to real estate. His passion for the industry began with purchasing his first home in Mission, where he saw firsthand the power of real estate as an investment. That passion quickly turned into a profession, and today, Richard is committed to helping buyers, sellers, and investors make confident, informed decisions.

With a background built on precision and problem-solving, Richard ensures every transaction is seamless, strategic, and stress-free—because real estate, like aviation, demands expertise and trust.
