Richard has journeyed through many career paths, each twist and turn shaping him into the individual he is today. He began his career as a tech professional, became the Vice President of two companies, was the project lead on water systems for several large water districts, worked for Trader Joe’s for 20 years, became a well-known photographer, and finally, he became an acclaimed author and prolific ghostwriter.


It’s a long and twisty path, with many victories, some losses, and more interesting times than he can count.


Back in 2013, he pivoted and changed his life. He had been working for 20 years as the Director of Technical Services and Computer Operations for Trader Joe’s, managing a team of technical wizards, resolving disaster situations, and being on call around the clock.


He grew tired of the stress, exhaustion, and mindless office politics. He also realized working for a big company was killing him. So, he decided it was time for a change. He bid farewell to that chapter of his life and embarked on a thrilling new adventure. But we’ll get into that later.
