As the Director of Athletics, Richard was named the NAIA Region X Athletic Director of the Year, served on Region X’s executive board and several NAIA national committees.

Richard has also worked for Centers, LLC. at DePaul University, Northeastern University, and the University of Rio Grande where he has had the opportunity to develop several new recreation programs, departments and facilities. He has also had the opportunity to be a subject matter expert and faculty member for the American Council on Exercise.

He has also spent many years coaching and officiating high school and middle school basketball, baseball, and softball.

Having spent over fifteen years working in the business of recreation and athletics, I firmly believe in providing students both a theoretical and experiential experience. I believe in creating a non-threatening environment that encourages the free flowing exchange of ideas and information. Learning is an interactive process guided by the student’s natural curiosity.
