Rich joined Meridian Investigative Group in 2017, bringing with him 17 years of experience in the financial services industry, primarily with Franklin Templeton Investments. His background is rooted in distribution and account management, with a strong focus on relationship building and client service.

A proud Florida native, he was born and raised in St. Petersburg and has lived there his entire life—except during his college years at Florida State University, where he earned a degree in Finance with a minor in History.

Since joining Meridian, he’s enjoyed helping clients navigate complex claims and finds real satisfaction in delivering video evidence that makes a difference. He often finds himself answering curious questions about the work and enjoys sharing what goes on behind the scenes.

A passionate sports fan, he’s especially loyal to the Tampa Bay Rays—rarely missing a game—and spent over a decade coaching youth baseball. With a son currently serving in the U.S. Army, he brings a deep appreciation for service and commitment into everything he does.
