In this crazed and chaotic world, Richard lives for quiet simplicity; searching for those peaceful moments away from the constant barrage of noise and information overload. He grew up in North Dakota, where life moves at a slower pace but where the endless prairie allows for radio signals to seemingly go on forever. At the age of sixteen, Richard's voice began echoing out over that vast horizon and thus, he found his professional calling.

These days he finds satisfaction in uniting busy yet curious listeners with interesting and informative guests while sharing insights and ideas along with a certain wacky perspective on the world.

Richard is married to his soul mate Amy and together they have three grown children. It's the simple pleasures of life that bring them joy, like long walks, yoga, movies, quirky TV shows, and enjoying time together at home.
