About Richard

Originally from Lampasas, TX about an hour Northwest of Austin, Richard grew up loving the Hill Country, Texas and the friendliness of the people who live here. From a young age, he was exposed to nature and football and was surrounded by family and friends who loved both so it was only natural that he did, and does, too. So you can imagine, after years of living away from Central Texas in Dallas, Vancouver, WA, St Louis, MO and attending high school and college, at the University of Texas in San Antonio, moving back to Austin in late 2003 was coming home. For those of you that do and don’t know, Austin not only offers the beauty of the Hill Country, the lakes and the friendly people but also an eclectic mix of art & film, colleges, festivals, football, great schools, high tech, live music, nature, ranches, restaurants, shopping and much more, including one of the best business climates and safest places in the nation to raise a family. Austin and Central Texas, quite simply, are about quality of life through varied lifestyles and that is what he offers his clients and their families. Real Estate is how he delivers the lifestyle(s) you and your family desire! Professionally, he started his career with H.E.B., one of the great grocery retail chains based in Texas, and learned customer service on the job by providing it as he worked his way up to being a Customer Service Manager at one of H.E.B.’s Flagship stores while attending UTSA. Later, after receiving a degree in Accounting and a minor in Management Information Systems, he moved into outside sales, marketing, and business development, spent years traveling the nation and working with many of the most recognizable and successful Fortune 500 companies in the United States. He would visit their retail, wholesale and distribution operations, audit their processes and systems and develop and implement solutions to improve those processes and systems, which required creative thinking, working with people from varied backgrounds, detailed documentation, strategic marketing, negotiation, sales, customer service, and support. With a wife, Rachel, whom has been a “rock star” in the mortgage business since she was 18, exhaustion from “planes, trains, and automobiles”, and more than just a casual interest in real estate, he decided to focus his expertise, knowledge and skills into becoming the best Real Estate Agent he could be and his clients will tell you that they have benefited from his experience. Of course, you can’t be the best, or stay the best, without continuing education, valuable mentorship and working with the best so he commits time every week to education, has a partner , Donna Ciccarelli, who is an unrivaled mentor and represents Realty Austin, the best brokerage in Central Texas! Rachel not only excels in business but also is his best friend and a great mom and he has been extremely lucky to have her as his wife for 22 years and counting. Together, they have a daughter, Megan, who is a freshman at Tarleton State, and a son, Sam, who is in 6th grade at Cedar Park Middle School and also happens to be on the Autism Spectrum. They love doing anything as a family, enjoying all that Austin and Central Texas have to offer and just working around the house or hanging out. During the holidays, they give the Griswold's a run for their money! Whether it’s residential or farm & ranch, real estate is his platform to help people and he strives to make a “positive difference” in his clients' lives every day.
