I had the great opportunity of meeting and working with Richard for almost a year. We both worked together in the Business Travel department, and it was lovely to have him as a partner who would always be there for you, and our clients. He is the type colleague that you feel blessed to have near you. He has an amazing personality, with positive attitude always. He is well known and has great knowledge in the hospitality industry. As my colleague Nicole said, Richard would be an asset to any team.

I was a client of Richards for several years and I cannot overstate how fantastic he was. He is knowledgable, professional, super personable and went out of his way to understand our needs and worked within the hotel's capabilities to meet, and often exceed them. Richard is a rare find as someone who truly cares about his work - any organization that he works with will be fortunate to have him.
