Hi Everyone,

My name is Lukas Richards and I'm a Private Wealth Associate at Morgan Stanley transitioning to investment banking! 

I'm ready to start the recruitment process and thankful for everyone at WSO who has helped me with the onboarding process. You guys have been great so far, and I want to thank Matthew K. for helping me get started. This is a big next step and a much different path from what I'm working on right now, but it's going to be exciting.  

I'm pursuing investment banking for the opportunity to build a good work-ethic and foundation in finance. 

 Outside of work, I like to go to the gym, snowboard, and hang out with my friends!
