After discovering alcohol at the age of six, addiction, anger, and aggression hobbled Richard's dreams. Although being named "Most Likely to Succeed" in high school, for the next 35 years he would struggle with the demons that consumed his every moment.

He found himself in the realm of serenity, where peace, faith, and connection, make everything possible.
