As creator and head of Spalding Sporting Goods' entry level IT training program in the early 1980's, he combined his Masters in Education from Springfield College with his experiences as a teaching tennis professional to begin mentoring new employees on how to successfully transition from academia to the work world. Richard continued mentoring employees in various contexts throughout the remainder of his twenty-seven year career in Information Systems. He resides today in the town of Agawam in Western Massachusetts.
