A graduate of Emerson College in Boston, he is a veteran reporter and has worked in markets across the country, including Savannah, Georgia; Little Rock, Arkansas; Buffalo, New York; New Haven, Connecticut; Indianapolis, Indiana; and most recently, in Washington, DC.

Memorable Stories

Richard says the most difficult, challenging stories he has ever done were in the days after the 9/11 attacks in New York City. He traveled to New York from Indianapolis, reporting from there for three days. His most memorable interview was with Caroline Kennedy, during a campaign event. He remembers speaking with her, thinking, “my gosh, she has endured and seen so much.”

Richard considers himself fortunate to have spent his entire career in radio, television, and web journalism. He has won numerous awards for his work, including multiple Emmy Awards and a National Murrow.

Personal Interests

Richard enjoys urban and wilderness hiking, mountain biking, working out, photography, and music. One of his goals is to sample the caffeine at every single coffeehouse in the Twin Cities. He has two grown children, Brandon and Janet, who live in Maryland and Virginia.
