In time, Richard's professional pursuits led him abroad to Kuala Lampur, Malaysia and to Singapore with the international firm Building Design Partnership Architects (BDP) and to London working as a design architect for Skidmore Owings and Merrill (SOM). After these experiences abroad, Richard returned to his roots in Winnipeg working for LM Architectural Group as an experienced project architect. After a short period there Rick landed firmly back with GBR Architects just months before the established firm transitioned ownership to Stantec Architecture in 2005 where he remained to direct design teams for nearly four years in an effort to develop important expansion projects for Winnipeg - a city on the cusp of its own new renaissance.

Soon after the wake of hurricane Tomas in 2010, Rick relocated his family to become a humanitarian architect for Engineering Ministries International in Haiti utilizing his architectural training and skills as a volunteer to help rebuild the country. In 2011, this life changing experience took him and his family to a second relief effort and destination in Al Mafraq, Jordan for nearly a year. After that experience, Rick settled in the province of British Columbia as a new Associate with MQN Architects serving the interior of that province from the city of Vernon.

Today Richard has settled back in Winnipeg where home has always called. After a brief term as an Associate with Verne Reimer Architecture, Rick is currently the Plan Examinaton Architect at the City of Winnipeg where he has been situated since 2012.
