Richard grew up in Washington, D.C., and is one of the only Americans to ever earn a master’s degree as a local student at Fudan University in Shanghai, China. He has spent the last sixteen years working for a large money management firm researching, analyzing, and investing in Chinese and Japanese equities, so he has a deep understanding of the cultural differences between the US and China.

Richard is fluent in Chinese and Japanese and continues to live in Asia with his family.
