LEADERSHIP
Richard E. Oswald II, Founder & Managing Director
Richard is the Founder and Managing Director of Bedrock Global Capital, with deep experience in Real Estate development, Asset Management, Private Equity, and Entrepreneurship.
He also has spent years in Institutional Single Family Home Rental management, currently helping to oversee over 60,000 homes in the USA.
Over the past 5 years, his research has helped to create a strategy to build homes and apartment buildings out of cold formed steel (the wave of the future). This strategy consists of a concrete FREE footing and foundation system paired with galvanized steel framing, thus creating hurricane, seismic and fire-resistant structures.
Richard grew up in the Pacific Palisades and has made it his life’s mission to help rebuild the many friends, fraternity brothers and family who lost their homes in the tragic fires of 2025!
Richard attended the University of Southern California where he was a member of the elite Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps. He was also President of Trojan Knights, a men’s honorary organization, and a member of Order of Omega, an undergraduate Greek society recognizing fraternity men and women who have attained a high standard of leadership in inter-fraternity activities. He was active in student government and fraternity life.
In the years following graduation and a successful business career, he wanted to give back. So in 2000, he joined the USC Career Advantage Program as a volunteer and spent 21 years mentoring students in all aspects of their majors, helping each to hit the ground running upon graduation.
Richard was also on the USC Board of Governors for 7 years and is currently Emeriti.
Richard and his 24-year-old son live in Manhattan Beach.
