Richard’s passion for real estate investment and development over the years has brought him to this stage in his career where he has completed his certification as a Licensed Realtor.  Prior to joining Dave Roach Realty, Richard was in the private sector as a transportation planning and engineering consultant for 15 years, and in the most recent 15 years, he worked in the public sector for a Regional and local government as the Manager of Transportation Planning. While he was in the public sector, Richard took pride in providing customer service to developers, politicians, and residents on issues related to development applications, traffic engineering, and transportation planning. He is a graduate of the University of Calgary and the University of Waterloo with a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Civil Engineering.

Over the years, Richard has worked with both Dave and Katherine as a client and has trusted their advice and management of his investment properties. Their work ethic and professionalism have inspired Richard to pursue this new career path and follow his passion to help others fulfill their real estate goals.

Richard is married to Helen and they both have a fond affiliation with the Kitchener-Waterloo area, in particular the University of Waterloo, where they met over 25 years ago. Richard and Helen have a son who keeps them on their toes. In his spare time, Richard likes to play racquet sports including badminton, squash, tennis, and ping pong. He is also a collector of stamps, paper money, and sports cards.  He is a regular on eBay.
