More About Richard . . .
Richard's entrepreneurial passion was evident at a young age. At eight years old, he created his first business-a lemonade stand that he grew into four branches with the help of a "Beat the Heat" marketing blitz-and followed it up with a series of successful and profitable neighborhood theater productions. Through college, graduate school, and his early professional life, Richard continued to pursue the necessary credentials and experiences that would ultimately help him launch his own business. At one time, he met the responsibilities of a full-time doctoral student, a full-time corporate employee, a part-time university lecturer, a part-time counselor in a private practice, and the president of a professional organization.
Richard received a B.A. in psychobiology from UCLA, an M.A. in counseling psychology from Chapman University, and a Ph.D. in industrial/organizational psychology from the United States International University.
