Richard’s mom and dad died when he was only three years old. After being passed around from family to family, his aunt and uncle took him under their wings. They lived on a small farm in Western Washington, 40 miles North of Seattle. 

Richard loved to turn off outside lights and look at the night sky with all the planets, shooting stars, and what he thought were UFO’s. He recorded his sightings in a journal with colorful detail and would dream about exploring the Milkyway. It was one of his favorite things to do. 

Richard always loved reading Sci-fi books. He could never get enough! Growing up, He read every Sci-fi book in his school library, it was a very small school. 

His writing career started over 20 years ago writing radio and television commercials. When he wrapped a sales message around a story, results always exceeded expectations. A few of his favorites had a Sci-fi theme. He delighted in painting pictures with words.

After retiring from a career in marketing, Richard wanted to finish writing “Time Stamping” a novel he started years prior. Three years later, it became a reality! A Sci-fi book like none other! 

Richard lives in Spokane Valley, WA with his wife. He has two grown children and three grandchildren.
