Rich was born and raised in Southern California due to his parent’s poor geographic planning. After attending Chapman University and graduating with two degrees for the price of one, he went to work for Wells Fargo Bank. Rich transitioned into the residential mortgage industry with IndyMac, and as soon as he was able, headed to Texas. When asked what brought him to Texas, Rich often responds “A Ford Expedition.”
Rich started working with the public at the ripe age of six, when his grandfather dragged him out to the Orange Swap meet to sell brushes, combs and gloves. From that moment on (actually, from the time he really woke up on) he has enjoyed helping people get what they want. This gave Rich the essential skill of calculating change in his head. Nowadays, cashiers look at him funny when he hands them too much money so that he can deal with less coins in his pocket.
Over the last 30+ years, Rich has helped thousands of clients buy homes, build wealth, and breathe easier through the mortgage process. His superpower? Asking better questions and showing up in person—especially when things get complicated.
When he’s not helping buyers and homeowners, Rich serves his Houston community—volunteering with those with special needs, dispatching for Hatzalah, and showing up (often in his truck) whenever someone needs a hand.
Rich lives in Southwest Houston with his incredible wife (sorry, Mom—you’re now #2) and their four adorable dogs: Beau, Jelly, Layla, and Her Highness, the Duchess of York Peppermint Patties.
Whether you need a loan, a laugh, or a lead on great coffee—Rich is your guy.
