Hospital Manager, Co-owner
Richard’s connection to veterinary medicine started early — at 12 years old, working alongside his mother in a veterinary clinic. Three decades later, that foundation has grown into a career defined by operational leadership, team building, and a deep understanding of what makes a veterinary practice run well. He has managed every facet of hospital operations, from scheduling and client experience to financial systems, compliance, and staff development. Richard has also guided practices through major transitions, including the shift from independent to corporate ownership — experience that gives him a clear perspective on why Legacy’s independent model matters. His role at Legacy is simple but essential: to make sure the hospital’s day-to-day operations reflect the same care, intention, and integrity that drive the medicine. Outside of work, Richard stays active on the trails, plays soccer with his kids, and spends time with his two dogs, Drake and Ross.
