About Richard

I grew up in Central Phoenix and graduated from Camelback High. I moved to Santa Fe, NM where I attended Santa Fe College to receive a double-associates in Business Administration, Culinary Arts & Hospitality while working full-time in the retail & restaurant, getting married and having three boys. After 12 years in Santa Fe, I moved for two years to El Paso, TX for a new opportunity and eventually back to Phoenix, AZ. Most recently I spent 11 years in Los Angeles working for two celebrity chef owned organic restaurant groups, eventually furloughed due to the pandemic. I moved back to Phoenix late 2020 to help care for my oldest brother Zach who was wheel chair bound for 40 years. Since my time back in Phoenix I had the opportunity to also care for my father, as well as my other brother Ted, (Long term care) for the past three years. Assisting and caring for others is a rewarding experience in many ways, by providing social interaction, companionship, assistance, and comfort.
