Bio
Russel McQuatt
Richard met me while I was visiting MacEwan to produce a speech. Since then we have stayed in contact and he also joined the Non-Profit I am VP of. Having worked with Richard in a volunteer capacity and seeing his vibrance, energy, intelligence and commitment to get the task done right, I know that he would be considered an asset to any team and any organization.
Stan Korsountsev, CPA
Richard was a great manager to work with. His attention to detail helped the bar be more efficient and by foreseeing problems he was able to prevent loss of sales. His input for the par and order inventory system was especially noted for busy events, when his insisting of larger orders assured no shortages throughout the night. I look forward to working with Richard in the future and would recommend his excelling character for any organization.
