Richard was a Military Officer, helicopter, and jet pilot of 21 years, and is also a successful investor across multiple sectors including property, stocks, watches, commodities and cryptocurrency.
Graduating from Newcastle University in 1998, Richard joined the Royal Navy as a helicopter pilot and saw combat around the globe, including the invasion of Iraq in 2003. He has been on operations in Libya, Syria, and multiple times in Afghanistan where he was involved in many multinational operations. Three years flying Search and Rescue helicopters covering the West Coast of Scotland proved some of the most exciting, dangerous, and challenging conditions ever seen.
Richard transitioned to civilian life in 2020 with a secondment to the London Stock Exchange and the Bank of England. This is where he got a real insight into financial investments, economics, and financial trading across commodities, equities, and foreign exchanges. This sparked an interest that drives him today to grow as an investor in every area. His area of focus became Crypto when the reality of the ‘exponential age’ was evident and he saw how crypto and blockchain was about to change every industry on the planet.
Having traded accounts both manually and automatically in the multimillions, he loves the challenge of finding that unseen gem in the crypto world, as well as trading ‘ratios’ to allow the core investment to grow without ever adding more capital. He's always striving for the doubles: the 100% gains, it’s his passion. With £1000 you are never more than 9 doubles away from £1,000,000 and with that attitude and mindset the reality of making it possible is real.
Richard started the Wealth Creation group to bring like-minded individuals together and share his array of experiences in the growth of all things wealth and especially the complex and sometimes murky world of crypto. By utilising his ‘triangle of investing' and encouraging the building of solid foundations, this allows the tiers to be built above, to create a true legacy of wealth for many generations.
Richard enjoys traveling and spending time with his family. His lasting claim to fame is his role as an X Wing pilot in the 'Rogue One' Disney movie that is part of the recent Star Wars series.
