Growing up, Richard immersed himself in historical adventures, particularly the novels of Rafael Sabatini, which fueled his imagination and shaped his understanding of heroism and moral integrity. This foundation laid the groundwork for his teaching career, where he used storytelling to engage students and convey complex ideas. In his retirement, Richard continued pursuing his passion, writing stories that reflect his unwavering commitment to faith and moral values. His work is characterized by a deep respect for history, a belief in the importance of heroes, and a desire to inspire others to live with integrity and purpose.
