An artist since he could hold a crayon, and a poet since he first fell in love. After winning a poetry slam in Coconut Grove three weeks in a row, he met a radio producer and was invited to write a radio show. When he was asked what would be the theme of the show. Spontaneously Richard announced it would be a SCI-FI Comedy! He called it "Martian Ambassador, and the Captured Chorus," He invited a rotating team of talented "captured" comedic actors, and together they assembled the show. He wrote, produced and directed this Live Hour of science fiction comedy on Miami's public radio station WLRN FM.
Richard has continued to write poetry, essays, short stories, and plays, (commercial as well as Avante garde pieces) One play commissioned by a Miami producer was written to publicize a Community-wide Literacy Project, it was titled "READ RABBIT READ" and was performed in the largest mall in Fort Lauderdale.
It was followed by a very successful bilingual-production for the Quincentennial Salute to the Columbus Adventure entitled "Christoforo Columbo's Dreams," staged in Hialeah one of Florida's most bi-lingual communities. This play explored a little-known backstory, the court intrigue that explained Christofero's staying power at the Spanish royal court. Chris’had a powerful backstage ally in Isabella's Court. Later works included an operatic performance-art piece entitled "The LoveSong of Godzilla and Mothra." And a political work entitled "Bedside Manor", revolving around a dramatic confrontation over torture during Attorney General Ashcroft's hospital stay while James Comey was acting Attorney General.
His first short story collection was published under the title “Two small windows, in a pair of mirror doors” in 2011 to rave international reviews.
Richard is often invited to contribute essays to local and international media and continues to write, with one goal, to catalyze with humanity and high-irony, his post planetary zest.
Richard married his high school sweetheart Linda, and they have enjoyed 48 years together. They have three beautiful children and four delightful grandchildren.weniger sehen
