After working in a variety of industries–including launching two
start-ups–David Richman entered the financial
industry as an advisor. Several years in, he found that his
interests were more in managing people and businesses than in
managing money. Over the next 15 years, he managed ever-larger
businesses for the same Wall Street firm. Among other pursuits,
David now works with a nationally-recognized financial services
firm committed to keeping the advisor in the forefront.


Over the last 10 years, David has completed over 50 triathlons,
including 15 Ironman-distance triathlons (2.4-mile swim, 112-mile
bike, 26.2-mile run), more than 50 runs longer than marathon
distance, including several 24-hour runs, running 85 miles in
Mexico in the heat of the summer, running 104 miles straight from
Santa Barbara to Manhattan Beach, and most recently biking
4,700-miles in just six weeks as he met with the participants of
his upcoming book exploring the emotional side of cancer.


As a former sedentary, over-weight, smoker, David knew that he
needed to focus not on what others wanted out of him, but on what
he wanted out of life. Through lessons learned in business and
sport, David introduces the concept of the “middle of the pack”
and discusses how to get more out of ourselves than ever
imagined. He applies this concept to life and business and adds
value to the people he works with coming from the perspective of
the “middle of the pack.”


David was born in Miami and raised mostly in the Los Angeles
area. He and his wife split their time between homes in Southern
California and Southern Nevada. He has worked in real estate,
lending, construction, started both an animation company and a
skin care company, and then went into financial services. He has
college-aged twins who are as aspirational as their father. After
losing his sister to brain cancer, David has organized a yearly
fundraiser in her memory, the most recent being the impetus for
his upcoming book, Cycle of Lives – 15 People’s Stories, 5,000
Miles, and a Journey Through the Emotional Chaos of Cancer.
