Independent Insurance Representative, Manulife Wealth Insurance Services Inc.

Richard is a Portfolio Manager and Senior Wealth Advisor at Ripple Private Wealth and Manulife Wealth. He began working in the financial services industry in 2007 where he traded stocks, bonds, and options on behalf of retail investors.

In 2008 he began working as a Financial Planner for one of the big five banks, where he established his goals-based financial planning and wealth management strategies. Richard was in the advisory role for 5 years where he worked with clients and their families creating and implementing plans and portfolios to help them achieve their long-term financial goals. While in this role, Richard earned his Certified Financial Planner (CFP) designation through the Financial Planning Standards Council and remains a member in good standing.

In 2013, Richard was presented with an opportunity that would change his and his family’s life and have a significant impact on his career. Richard had the rare chance to switch from the advisory side of the business to the manufacturing side, where he quickly worked his way up to the role of District Vice President at Manulife Investments. This role gave Richard an outstanding perspective on the business in that he worked closely with Portfolio Managers, Investment Advisors, Financial Planners, and Insurance Advisors at all major firms across Ontario and Manitoba. During this period of time, Richard earned his Certified Investment Manager (CIM®) designation.

In 2016, Richard returned to the advisory side of the business and has since become a licensed Portfolio Manager.
