My name is Mark Robert Richards. I believe we are all put here to make a difference. As the founder of Meade Street Advisors, LLC, my goal is to leverage my 30+ years of global business expertise to help you build a successful organization, manage change, and get the very best out of you and your people. I lead a very active lifestyle. I’m a nationally-ranked competitive swimmer, avid cyclist, skilled powerlifter and gladly pursue most outdoor activities that bring me closer to nature. My approach to diet and health is an enabler for my active lifestyle. Philanthropy grounds me. It connects me to people. It invests me in the community. Supporting the arts and adolescent behavioral health are my chosen philanthropic areas. I enjoy researching out of the way, oftentimes hard to reach, destinations for travel. It creates uncertainty because you have less control despite detailed planning. It is invigorating and rewarding. It reinforces what is possible when you put your mind to it.
