With a degree in Economics from Brown University, Richard traveled to Asia and started his career at First Pacific. It wasn’t long before he became the second Chartered Financial Analyst in all of Asia before founding Overlook Investments Group in 1991. Richard’s longstanding commitment to mitigate climate change and protect our planet led him and his wife Dee to establish High Tide Foundation. He is also the founding director of Proyecto Mirador Foundation, which has built more than 200,000 fuel-efficient stoves in rural communities in Honduras, Guatemala, and Nicaragua. Richard’s life-long pursuit of helping underserved communities is an inspiring example of one individual’s positive impact on the world.
