Richard, as he is known, has worked in higher education for over twenty-five years in various capacities. He began his career at Hampton Institute, (now Hampton University) in Hampton, Virginia. He worked at the University of Missouri-Columbia, the University of New Haven, and Western Connecticut State University. He was the Dean of Student Services at Palm Beach Community College in Palm Beach County, Florida. In 2007, he accepted the position as the Vice President of Student Development at a college in Upstate New York. He currently resides in Pearland, Texas, a suburb of Houston.
