Richard Wayne Harris was born in California under the shadow of the Matterhorn rollercoaster at Disneyland. He moved to Utah when he was 8 years old where his father pursued real estate at Century 21. He loved sports and became interested in physical therapy after dealing with knee problems as a teenager.

Rich graduated from Utah Valley University with an associate’s degree in natural science in 1991; he was then accepted into the University of Oklahoma’s physical therapy program and graduated with distinction in 1994. He returned to Utah to practice physical therapy in outpatient neuro rehabilitation until 2006. At that time, he switched from working in a clinic to working in home health for another four years.

While Rich loves to help people and found enormous satisfaction in helping people to walk, stand up from chairs and to become more independent with their activities of daily living after serious illness or accidents, the increasingly tight medical oversight during these years put a strain on his ability to treat patients the way he felt they deserved or required. As a result, he switched his focus to the financial world as a means of helping people as much financially as an advisor as he once did physically as a physical therapist. The difference is that now, his clients do not need to be diagnosed with a stroke or a traumatic head injury to see him and receive his care and expertise. They only require a desire to improve their financial well-being by planning for their future retirement. then Rich can be there to treat their financial needs.
