He has made appearances on over 100 radio and TV shows, as well as host of his highly acclaimed internet radio show, Achieving A Positive Life.

Born in New Orleans and adopted at the age of 2 weeks old, Richard spent his young life struggling to win the affections of a mother who didn’t want him. At the tender age of 16, his father handed him a suitcase and sent him on his way. Looking deep within himself to summon the courage to move forward in his life, Richard realized that he had a choice; he could listen to the “negative tapes” his mother programmed into him or he could take his mother’s opinions as a challenge and prove her judgments of him wrong. And before he even had a driver’s license, he had made the conscious decision to create a course for his life that would push him to excel in everything he reached for.

Prior to founding his company in 1987, Richard put his four degrees to good use as a Professor of Philosophy at Ohio University and Wayne State University, where he also served as the Baptist Campus Minister. Following that, Richard was the Director of Counseling at the First Baptist Church in both Tampa and West Palm Beach in Florida. These days he travels the world on his crusade to help others move past their Circle of Sameness and achieve a positive life.

Richard speaks to corporate and public audiences on the subjects of Personal and Professional Development, including the executives and staff of many of America’s largest corporations. His humorous and poignant talks and seminars on Leadership, Sales, Self-Esteem, Goals, Strategy, Creativity and Success bring about immediate changes and long-term results. Not to mention that his 100% success rate with his Private Coaching clients speaks for itself and are a continual testimony to his desire to challenge people and show them the pathway to accomplishing the highest level of achievement for their life.
