Richard's Story
After graduating from Edmonds in 1965, went on to the UW, graduating with a BA In Business Administration in April 1970.

12 1/2 years. Retired again in December 2010 to open my own Consulting practice, Richard & Associates. The business did well but as luck would have it I was drawn back to full-time service as the Executive Director of the Chair Academy in Mesa, Arizona from 2012-2017..
Shortly after returning to Washington my wife of 40+ years succumbed to Cancer. I have since remarried and now live in Gig Harbor with my wife Mishal. As time permits, we enjoy traveling, RV'g, and boating. The PNW remains home base, but the house on AZ allows for plenty of winter sunshine as the need arises. .
