RICHARD W. SMITH
Chairman, Board of Directors

Dick Smith began his career on Wall Street in 1959 with Baxter & Co. in the trading, underwriting and sales department. After two years he moved to Kormendi & Co. to explore new career opportunities.  There he was responsible for trading corporates, governments, foreign bonds, municipals and stocks. 

From 1963-1965, Dick worked for New York Hanseatic Company and was asked to open a municipal operation for them in Chicago.  In Chicago he also worked for Stern Brothers and BancNorthwest over a period of 12 years, specializing in the sale of Municipal bonds to Institutional accounts.

In 1977 he was hired by Seattle-Northwest Securities where he served as Vice President in Institutional and Dealer sales.  In 1985 Dick had an opportunity to start his own business and he started RW Smith, a brokers-broker and today has regional offices around the nation with highly tenured professionals.
