He began his banking career in 1972, with American Bank of Tulsa, advancing to chief lending officer by 1980. During that time, the bank engaged JMFA, resulting in substantial earnings gains that made it the highest earning bank in the region, posting ROAs near 3% and ROEs close to 25%. In 1982, Richard and his management team left American Bank and chartered Southern National Bank in Tulsa, which was sold in 1992 to Boatman’s Bancshares of St. Louis, Missouri. After a restructuring consulting assignment with a New Orleans financial institution, Richard joined JMFA as sales director for the Southeastern region and began rising through the ranks. He is a graduate from the University of Tulsa and the Southwestern Graduate School of Banking at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.
