“Rich is a rare breed: a technical polymath with a high EQ. I had the pleasure of managing Rich during his tenure at Tower, where we collaborated to build a profitable trading system. On the technical side, he not only expertly managed our trading engine — we had zero notable operational incidents during on his watch — but also worked with other strategists to advance our alpha and development infrastructure. Rich came in with a broad quantitative toolkit, and he was always looking to grow that by learning. On the human side, he brought a tremendous amount empathy and compassion to the team — whenever I was facing a management challenge, I always reached out to Rich for advice on how to navigate people-based nuances. Additionally, his dedication to the group was astounding. From the day he joined, he came in to work solo at 5AM to launch our trading system, and routinely spent weekends at the office to get projects done faster. I will really miss his wry wit, pragmatic optimism, and tireless dedication. Whether as a leader or an individual contributor, Rich would be an asset to any world class team. ”
