The Wiseman Family

Karen and Richard Wiseman are both proud graduates of TCU - Karen having received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in finance, while Richard earned a BBA before attending law school at the University of Texas. Karen is a Certified Treasury Professional and Vice President of Cash Operations for First American Payment Systems, and her great, great, great grandmother, Mary Overton, was among the first 100 settlers to Fort Worth. Richard has worked his entire legal career at Brown, Dean, Wiseman, Proctor, Hart & Howell, which is celebrating its 90th birthday in Fort Worth. After earning a scholarship as a walk on to the freshman football team, Richard has given back to TCU by serving as Chair of the Fort Worth Alumni Association, President of the TCU Lettermen’s Association, Chair of the Clark Society, and a Board Member of the National Alumni Association. Both attend Christ Chapel Bible Church, where Karen serves on the Board of Common Ground, a non-profit organization committed to providing personal, professional and spiritual resources for the working women of Fort Worth.

Richard has two sons, Todd Wiseman and Dr. Richard “Cully” Wiseman, both graduates of Fort Worth Country Day School. Todd earned English and Film degrees from USC, and now works for the Texas Tribune in Austin as its Multi-Media Producer. Dr. Wiseman received a Neuroscience degree from Vanderbilt and his medical degree from the University of Texas School at Galveston.
